New Delhi: In a move to boost security along the Sino-Indian border along the Line of Actual Control (LAC), 33 ITBP’s planned 56 border posts have been placed aimed at enhancing security and operational readiness in response to ongoing tensions in the region.
In addition to the newly established posts, six fresh battalions have been deployed to bolster the ITBP’s presence along the border. This deployment is part of a broader strategy to strengthen India’s border security infrastructure amid increasing military activities by China.
The decision to bring forward these posts and deploy additional battalions comes in light of China’s military build-up and frequent incursions into Indian territory. The ITBP’s role is crucial as it manages a significant stretch of the India-China border, which spans approximately 3,488 kilometres.
Raised in the aftermath of the 1962 Chinese aggression, the ITBP is primarily tasked with guarding the 3,488-kilometre-long LAC with China, apart from rendering a variety of duties in the internal security domain.
These developments reflect India’s commitment to maintaining a robust defence posture along its northern frontier, particularly in light of recent geopolitical challenges.
