AHMEDABAD:  Director General of the Border Security Force SS Deswal is on a two-day visit to Gujarat's Kutch district to review the security scenario along the international border, an official said on Friday.

This is Deswal's first visit to Kutch, which shares a border with Pakistan, after assuming the charge as BSF DG this March, a release here stated.

Following his arrival in Bhuj on Thursday, the BSF chief chaired a high-level meeting with senior officials, including BSF inspector general GS Malik, Kutch-West superintendent of police Saurabh Tolumbia and officials of Bhuj Army station.

The release added that Deswal also interacted with BSF jawans on board a patrol boat in the creek area. The BSF chief will visit the international border on Friday to review the security scenario. Notably, the international border passes through the Sir Creek area, a highly sensitive zone, where the BSF had nabbed Pakistani fishermen and seized abandoned boats in the past.
