Amid India-China Standoff, ITBP To Set Up 47 Border Outposts

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.”

Praising ITBP for its services Reddy said, “No matter whatever the difficulties, ITBP jawans perform their duties with high morale and patriotism in the service of Mother India.”

“The ITBP also contributes significantly to the nation’s economic development. The ITBP has played a part in thwarting efforts from across the border aimed at slowing our economic development,” he added.
