I appreciate the focus on improving conditions for BSF personnel. Living in harsh border areas is no joke, and welfare initiatives are long overdue. But would also like to see more transparency in infrastructure spending in Ahmedabad.
Border security is non-negotiable, especially given our neighborhood tensions. But why is the Home Minister meeting BJP office bearers during an official visit? Seems like mixing politics with governance. Development review is good though.
Haraminala is indeed a sensitive area - glad to see high-level attention. The coordination between different agencies is crucial. Let's hope these review meetings translate into improved intelligence sharing and better security for our jawans. 🇮🇳
While security is important, I hope the development agenda isn't just a photo op. Ahmedabad's infrastructure projects have been stuck for years. The common man needs better roads, water supply and public transport, not just meetings!
The BSF welfare initiatives are a positive step. Our jawans sacrifice so much in remote, harsh conditions. But these need to be sustained, not just announced during visits. Proper facilities, timely rotation and mental health support matter. Respect to our forces! 🙏
