Agartala: August 17:The Border Security Force (BSF) Tripura Frontier has introduced Rampur Hounds, an indigenous breed, into its dog squad to enhance border vigilance and operational efficiency, a senior BSF official told Tripura Times.

Traditionally, German Shepherds and Labradors have been deployed in security operations, but the Rampur Hound is now the latest addition. “Being an Indian breed, it is less expensive and easier to maintain compared to foreign breeds,” the official said.

While the exact strength of the squad remains undisclosed for security reasons, the officer confirmed that the unit has an adequate number of trained dogs for patrolling and special operations. Dogs are usually inducted at six months of age and undergo six months of intensive training at national centres before deployment. Each dog is paired with a handler, forming a crucial bond that ensures efficiency in the field. If a handler dies, the dog is retired, as it cannot be re-trained under another trooper.

Unfit or aged dogs are auctioned at the end of their service period, and civilians are allowed to adopt them as they are well-trained and docile.

Highlighting operational challenges, the officer said smugglers often try to evade canine units by taking difficult routes or fleeing across the Bangladesh border. However, the trained dogs continue to play a pivotal role in detecting crime, narcotics, and preventing cross-border smuggling.

The Rampur Hound’s lower cost is another advantage. “Foreign breeds cost around ₹25,000 to ₹30,000 at six months of age, whereas Indian breeds are more economical. They are provided with a special diet, regular health checkups, and care by BSF veterinarians,” the officer added.

The BSF official reiterated that canine squads, serving as both sniffers and trackers, are indispensable assets in strengthening the fight against drug trafficking and cross-border crimes.
