Channi writes to PM for restoring status quo after enhancing BSF jurisdiction along border

Chandigarh, Oct 22 (UNI) Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi on Friday urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to relook into the matter and restore the status quo that existed before the notification of October 11, 2021, to enable the Border Security Force (BSF) and the Punjab Police to work together against the anti-national forces for safeguarding the sovereignty and territorial integrity of India.
Meanwhile, the Chief Minister also sought an appointment with the Prime Minister to discuss this issue.
In a letter to the Prime Minister, Channi apprised that the BSF is trained to perform their primary duty of guarding and securing the international border and to act as the first line of defence. He mentioned that policing in the hinterland is the duty and responsibility of the State/local police. Moreover, the Punjab Police is a professional force fully competent to handle any law and order situation within the state.
