I just came across this article. The following question specifically its answer struck me as interesting. Hopefully this has already garnered appropriate attention.
How effective is BSF’s lesser known yet high-profile G branch?
The lesser said about it, the better (smiles). It’s the intelligence wing of the BSF. It finds its genesis in the 1971 India-Pakistan war. Our personnel trained the Bangladesh Mukti Vahini (freedom fighters) in the jungles of Tripura and even fought alongside them in civilian clothes. In that war, 139 BSF jawans and officers were killed. G branch collects intelligence from foreign lands. Now, it is the multi-agency centre (MAC) from where intelligence inputs are procured, and it functions with a coordinated approach.
