New Delhi, Apr 20 (IBNS) The Union Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has given its approval for transfer of 58.81 acres of surplus land of Farakka Barrage Project under Ministry of Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation to Border Security Force under Ministry of Home Affairs for establishment of 04-Battalion Head Quarters of BSF at Khejuriaghat in Mouza Jagannathpur, J.L.No. 35 P.S. Kaliachak, District, Malda of West Bengal.

"Farakka Barrage Project will also be benefitted by guarding of crucial Indian frontiers with Bangladesh by BSF in Malda District, which is adjoining to Farakka Barrage Project, a project of both National and International importance," read an official statement.

Also, possibility of encroachments of FBP land and ensuing security concerns to FBP would be reduced due to presence of the BSF personnel in the area.
