ITBP Broke Myth That Some Countries Have Strong Armies: MoS Reddy Aims at China
News 18The Indo-Tibetan Border Police, in developments that took place in the last few months, has broken the myth of some countries that they have a powerful army, Union minister G Kishan Reddy said on Saturday, in an indirect reference to the ongoing standoff between India and China in Ladakh. The ITBP had sometime ago said it "fought the whole night" and gave a befitting reply to the Chinese PLA troops during a violent clash between the two sides on June 15-16. Reddy said the Narendra Modi government is "determined" to strengthen and "modernise" the force, and informed about certain sanctions given to it in the recent past. "I am happy to inform that the ITBP has been given the approval by the Ministry of Home Affairs to establish 47 border posts, uniform special clothing and mountaineering equipment for high-altitude locations, latest weapons are being provided and work is on to prepare priority border roads for the force," he said. Deswal said the force has finalised and sent to the home ministry a proposal for constructing "phase-2 of India-China border roads".
