Answer: Sard Hawa
The Border Security Force or the BSF launches Operation Sard Hawa, which includes increased surveillance on the Pakistan border. It is usually launched on the Rajasthan border, especially in the Jaisalmer region in the month of January.
Operation Sard Hawa is conducted during winter to control the infiltration in the borders. During winter thick fog blocks vision in the border area. Such scenarios prove highly advantageous for the terrorists to cross the border. It is essential for the security forces to stay alert during this season. That is the reason BSF conducts Operation Sard Hawa during winter.
This year, Operation Sard Hawa was conducted between January 23 and 28, also to keep a hawk’s eye and enhance security before Republic Day celebrations.
During Sard Hawa, the officers and personnel stay close to the border. Frequent patrolling is conducted and the intelligence wing is kept in active mode. The number of soldiers deployed on the border is also increased. Additionally, the soldiers patrol the areas near police stations with advanced weapons.
Similar to Sard Hawa, there is Operation Garam Hawa which is conducted during summer. It is usually held in the month of May or June when the heat waves are extreme.
