New Delhi: Braving inhospitable conditions, the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) personnel marched with the national flag at 17,000 feet above sea level in Ladakh to mark the country’s 72nd Republic Day on Tuesday.
The ITBP personnel, which included men and women, celebrated the event at minus 25 degree Celsius, reported news agency IANS.
Also referred to as the ITBP ‘Himveers’, the personnel chanted: “Bharat Mata Ki Jai” and “Vande Matram”.
