New Delhi: Amidst tension with China on the Line of Actual Control (LAC) and following the Galwan valley clash, the government has permitted Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) to set up 47 Border Outposts (BoPs) to increase vigil along the border.
Addressing the 59th Raising Day function, in Greater Noida, of the ITBP, Union Minister of State for Home G Kishan Reddy made an announcement in this regard. He also informed that 28 types of new vehicles have been provided to the ITBP, which has been allotted a budget of Rs 7,223 crore, Zee News reported.
Talking about the Indian culture, he said, “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, which gives the message of world peace, but, at the same time, our culture also gives us the mantra to fully empower ourselves for every kind of adverse situation created by the enemy.”
The @ITBP_Official does not just man our borders, but also ensures Internal Security of our nation, and thereby protects its economic interests.
