The BSF continuously carried out anti-tunnel drives along the IB. It was able to detect two tunnels in January 2021 and made a huge dent to the infiltration attempts by terrorists from Pakistan, Inspector General of BSF D K Boora told reporters here on the eve of the 57th raising day of the force.

"Detection of these tunnels also exposed the nefarious designs of Pakistan-based terrorists and smugglers," he said.
