3. Government has empowered the Border Security Force (BSF) to conduct searches, arrest suspects and make seizures up to an area of 50 km inside Indian territory from International Border (IB) along India-Pakistan and India-Bangladesh borders through an order on 13 Oct. Surprisingly, the state governments of Punjab and West Bengal opposed it.
4. The area of jurisdiction now is a 50km belt running along the national border inside these states -- whereas earlier it was 15km -- under Section 139 of the Border Security Force Act 1968 which enables the Centre to make such changes. It means officers of the BSF, like their counterparts in the state police, can make arrests, carry out searches and seize material in these areas.
5. The border stretch under BSF in Gujarat was reduced in Gujarat from 80 kms to 50 kms, in Rajasthan it remains the same, while no limit was prescribed for the northeastern states of Meghalaya, Nagaland, Mizoram, Tripura and Manipur.
