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 The BSF were withdrawn from their camp in December 1998 during the midst of the ethnic clashes between Kuki - Paite tribes.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 words the old and/or camp:
“When they are not at war they do a little hunting, but spend most of their time in idleness, sleeping and eating. The strongest and most warlike do nothing. They vegetate, while the care of hearth and home and fields is left to the women, the old and the weak. Strange inconsistency of temperament, which makes the same men lovers of sloth and haters of tranquility.”
—Tacitus (c. 55–c. 120)
“Usually the scenery about them is drear and savage enough; and the logger’s camp is as completely in the woods as a fungus at the foot of a pine in a swamp; no outlook but to the sky overhead; no more clearing than is made by cutting down the trees of which it is built, and those which are necessary for fuel.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
