Which ministry oversees Border Security Force?

The decision of the central government to increase the operational jurisdiction of the Border Security Force (BSF) from 15 km to 50 km has been contested by West Bengal and Punjab. They contend that this action infringes upon state law and order authorities and violates federal principles. The BSF, which was founded in 1965 following the war between India and Pakistan, is an essential component of the Indian security apparatus and is managed by the Ministry of Home Affairs. Its personnel count exceeds two lakhs, and they are mainly stationed near the borders with Bangladesh and Pakistan, namely the international borders between Bangladesh and Pakistan and India.
