A wild forest fire in the hills of #Kasauli on 26 May threatened the heritage precincts of Kasauli Cantonment.
Under the close supervision and proactive guidance of Commander, #VictoryForCertain Bde, a swift and synergised firefighting response was launched, involving troops of the #VictoryForCertain Bde, Air Force Station Kasauli, Cantonment Board Kasauli and Civil Fire Tenders.
For over 16 hours, ground columns battled the flames along Gilbert Trail, Shourya Marg and adjoining areas, preventing further spread and safeguarding critical heritage zones. The air effort by #IndianAirForce Mi-17 helicopters, through effective Bambi Bucket sorties, proved decisive in containing the blaze.
All personnel and equipment are safe. No loss of civilian or combatant life has been reported. Firefighting operations continue till the fire is fully extinguished.

Scaling the world’s highest peak with unmatched courage and determination, BSF’s first ever All Women Mt. Everest Expedition Team has scripted history under #MissionVandeMataram by successfully summiting Mt. Everest.
The BSF’s First all women mountaineering team comprising of Constable Kouser Fatima
from Ladakh, Constable Munmun Ghosh from West Bengal, Constable Rabeka Singh from Uttarakhand and Constable Tsering Chorol from Kargil, successfully summited the Mt Everest (8848.86 M) at 8 AM (IST) today.
Celebrating the BSF Diamond Jubilee Year, the Mahila Seema Praharis carried the spirit of ‘Vande Mataram’ to the top of the world. At an altitude where most people require oxygen support and even standing upright is a challenge, they sang Vande Mataram in one unwavering voice - creating a historic milestone that reflects the strength, resilience and indomitable spirit of Nari Shakti.
This extraordinary achievement stands as a proud symbol of women empowerment, national pride and the BSF’s steadfast commitment to excellence.

Another Proud Moment for the BSF
Commemorating its Diamond Jubilee Year, the Border Security Force Mt. Lhotse Expedition Team - five determined climbers, successfully summited the world’s fourth-highest peak, Mt. Lhotse (8,516 m), on 23 May 2026 at about 05:20 AM IST.
Just hours after BSF’s Veeranganas unfurled glory on Mt. Everest, BSF’s men scripted another historic triumph on Mt. Lhotse. Two monumental summits in 48 hours.
Two teams standing atop two of the world’s tallest mountains.
One invincible spirit of the Force.
This back-to-back achievement reflects the extraordinary courage, discipline and resolve that define the BSF.
Under the leadership of Shri Lovraj Dharamshaktu, DC, the following BSF bravehearts proudly reached the summit:
Constable Vikash Singh Rawat
Constable Anwar Hussain
Constable Mahaveer Prasad
Constable Mohan Singh
A tribute to the nation, a salute to the Tricolour, and another golden chapter in the legacy of the BSF.
