Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh will celebrate Dussehra with BSF jawans at the Indo-Pak border near Bikaner today.

A Home Ministry official said, this is the first time a senior Union Minister will be joining the force in the festivities in the sensitive border with Pakistan. Mr Singh will also assess the progress in infrastructure development there.

Last year, the Home Minister had attended Dussehra celebrations at Joshimath in Uttarakhand along the Sino-Indian border.
