THE Border Security Force (BSF) is bracing for the challenges posed by the effects of severe cyclonic storm ‘Biparjoy’ along the Rann of Kutchh upto Rajasthan and has made special arrangements to ensure the safety of people living along the coastline. Cyclone ‘Biparjoy’ is expected to make landfall near the Jakhau coast on the evening of June 15 and will traverse all along the Rann of Kutchh up to Rajasthan.

 

Speaking to ANI, a local said, “BSF officials went door to door to alert people about cyclone ‘Biparjoy’. They have made all the necessary arrangements for our families. We also got a room for ourselves. Food supplies have also been made available. I have no worries now.” “I want to thank BSF for their efforts. They have taken care of everything,” the local added.

 

BSF Inspector Jai Prakash said, “We had an inkling of the damage that cyclone ‘Biparjoy’ might inflict and were, hence, ready with our preparations beforehand. We informed people in the villages about our camps.” “We are well prepared. For the last three days, we have been engaged in ensuring border security while preparing for the locals for the after-effects of the cyclone,” the inspector added.
