The plight of Indian Border Security Force

Tej Bahadur Yadav, a soldier from the Border Security Force(BSF) in India posted a video on Facebook that went viral. The video purportedly shows the deplorable quality of food served to jawans(soldiers) stationed in the challenging terrains in Jammu and Kashmir. Some Indian news channels like India Today have reported that Yadav has been called from the BSF camp back to the headquarters and has been assigned a plumber’s duty and that his commandant has tried to get him to take down the video.

Tej Bahadur Yadav - BSF: “ #BSFBreakfast - In the breakfast, the jawans are served burnt paranthas(bread) with a cup of tea. It is not because of the cook but the corruption at top-level because of which officials are unable to buy groceries to feed the soldiers proper food... #SaveBSF The videos will pain the heart of every Indian and this indeed should stop right away. Jawans are the pride of the nation and food is one of the basic rights they deserve.”

@AviBsharma: “#BSFJawan Now, it’s time for some character assassination. He might be the wrong guy but his issues are to be answered, not his behaviour!”
