The Old BSF Camp & The New AR Camp, Behiang
Behiang used to have a regular camp of India's Border Security Force until recently. The Camp site is located on a lovely and commanding hill lock over the left bank of the Tuivai river overlooking the entire village and a major portion of the international border. The BSF were withdrawn from their camp in December 1998 during the midst of the ethnic clashes between Kuki - Paite tribes.
In June 2006, the Assam Rifles (AR) were stationed in Behiang and they started constructing a new camp site which was officially occupied on January 2008. The AR Camp is currently located on the Southern side of the village close to the Khenman boundary.

Famous quotes containing the word camp:
“We could not well camp higher, for want of fuel; and the trees here seemed so evergreen and sappy, that we almost doubted if they would acknowledge the influence of fire; but fire prevailed at last, and blazed here, too, like a good citizen of the world.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
