The heart throbbing Dare Devil BSF Motor Cycle show by the name ‘JANBAZ’ will be an event of attraction. BSF Motor Cycle team was started in the year 1990 with the aim to display dare devil shows riding 350 cc Enfield bullet motor cycle bikes. Over the period of time the team has achieved many successes by performing dare devils shows at various national occasions throughout the country and brought laurels to this elite Force. Since its inception the team has recorded its name in the Limca Book of World Records and has become known to the whole nation.

BSF, an elite force of the country, was raised on December 1, 1965 with the primary responsibility to safeguard country’s international borders with Pakistan and later Bangladesh. These borders, were manned by respective state Armed Police. However, the armed aggression by Pakistani forces on April 9, 1965 against Sardar Post, Chhar Bet and Beria Bet in Gujarat exposed the necessity of a uniform force to safeguard the sensitive borders. The need of the hour was a force that was trained like army to guard the borders and worked like police to check trans-border crimes. With the recommendations of a committee of secretaries, the Border Security Force came into being on December 1, 1965 under the dynamic leadership of KF Rustamji.

The nascent force grew up from strength to strength to become one of the best and trusted professional forces in the country. The crucial role played by the BSF in liberation of Bangladesh in 1971 is unforgettable.
