'BSF entering villages, beating people': Mamata calls to limit security force within 50 kms from border The Central government had last year amended the BSF Act to authorise the border guarding force to undertake search, seizure and arrest within a 50 km stretch. Highlights Banerjee's statement came during a virtual meeting with the senior officials of the state police Ask the BSF to take state police in confidence while working on any operation, she said Centre and West Bengal govt have been at loggerheads for the past many years over various issues Levelling serious allegations against the Border Security Force, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday said the BSF is entering the villages and beating people while also throwing them on the other side of the international border. The Central government had last year amended the BSF Act to authorise the border guarding force to undertake search, seizure and arrest within a 50 km stretch, up from the previous limit of 15 kms, from the international border in Punjab, West Bengal and Assam. Punjab and West Bengal governments even passed resolutions in November last year against the Centre's decision to extend the BSF jurisdiction from 15 kms to 50 kms of the international borders with Pakistan and Bangladesh.
