Border Security Force (BSF) soldiers are deployed to protect Indian borders. You must have seen many times in photos and videos that barbed wire has been used to protect the border. But have you noticed that many times empty glass beer bottles are hung on these barbed wires. Today we will tell you the reason behind this.
Border
Indian Army soldiers are always ready to protect the country. Apart from this, BSF has fenced the country’s borders with barbed wire, so that no intruder can enter the country. But do you know that during the winter season, there is so much fog and mist that nothing is visible near the border. During this time, the security forces increase the vigil. But apart from this, the Border Security Force soldiers use another indigenous technique. Yes, the soldiers of the Border Security Force hang empty beer bottles on the barbed wires on the border, these beer bottles work as an alarm for the soldiers.
Empty beer bottle
Let us tell you that BSF has hung empty bottles at some distance on the barbed wire from Rajasthan to Jammu. This is done so that if someone touches the wires, the bottles start ringing after hitting them. Due to which our soldiers become alert. Not only this, if any intruder tries to enter the border by forcibly crossing the wire, then the bottles can also fall along with ringing, this lets the soldiers know that an intruder is trying to enter our country’s border.
