This episode on Border Security Force (BSF) was first broadcast on air in the erstwhile Rajya Sabha Television (RSTV) on 15 December 2014 anchored and produced by Vineet Dikshit.

RSTV has now merged with the erstwhile Lok Sabha TV (LSTV) and is now known as Sansad TV, the official television channel of the Parliament of India.
