Praising the valour of the BSF jawans performing their duties in difficult conditions, Shri Dhankhar said that it is difficult to stand in such scorching heat for even a few minutes. The environment all around is challenging and you don't even have time to blink your eyes at the border. He further said that the alertness of the BSF jawans in the high mountains of the Himalayas , the scorching desert of Thar , the dense forests of the Northeast , and the swampy Rann Creek is unmatched .
