  • The central government sanctioned seven new battalions to strengthen the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) force guarding the India-China LAC. 
  • The seven battalions have 9,400 new posts.
  • The biggest advantage of the recruitment of about 9500 jawans will be that the security of the border will be more effective than before in the midst of adverse conditions on the 'LAC'.
  • Besides raising seven additional Battalions, the CCS has also given approval to the set-up of one Sector Headquarter of ITBP for manning the 47 new Border Out Posts (BOPs) and 12 staging camps.
  • ITBPs current sanctioned strength is 88,430. With this move, the total strength of the ITPB will be 97,830.
