Rajasthan CM commits to BSF welfare ahead of Independence Day
The chief minister of Rajasthan visited soldiers who protect the country's borders.
Their group is called the Border Security Force, or BSF for short.
He thanked them for working hard to keep the country safe.
He promised that the government will take care of them and their families.
He also talked about new roads in border areas.
These roads help people travel and do business.
The soldiers also plant many trees in the desert, so he called them 'environmental sentinels.'
Another leader, Union minister Arjun Ram Meghwal, also visited the post.
He talked about plans to give border villages water, electricity and houses.
