As part of the BSF's Diamond Jubilee celebrations, the force's first-ever all-women mountaineering team successfully scaled Mount Everest, reaching the 8,848.86-metre peak at 8:00 AM (IST) on Thursday. The expedition team includes Constable Kouser Fatima (Ladakh), Constable Munmun Ghosh (West Bengal), Constable Rabeka Singh (Uttarakhand), and Constable Tsering Chorol (Kargil). "Scaling the world's highest peak with unmatched courage and determination, BSF's first ever All Women Mt.

"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," added BSF. (ANI)
