Guwahati, July 13 ((IBNS): A jawan of Border Security Force (BSF) went missing from an inundated border post in Assam’s Dhubri district along the Bangladesh border on Wednesday night, officials said.

A top official of BSF said that, the jawan went missing from the inundated Chowkichar outpost, when he was on patrolling duty and feared to have drowned in flood waters.

The missing jawan has been identified as 45-year-old Bipin Mishra hailing from Bihar.
