"Raising Day greetings to ITBP Himveers and their families. This Force stands tall as a symbol of valour and dedication. They protect us, including in some of the most challenging terrains and tough climatic conditions," Modi said in a post on X.
“Additionally, their efforts during natural disasters and rescue operations inspire immense pride among the people,” he said.
The ITBP was raised in the aftermath of the 1962 Chinese aggression. The around 90,000 personnel strong force is primarily deployed to guard the 3,488 km Line of Actual Control (LAC) with China apart from rendering a variety of duties in the internal security domain and disaster management.
In another post, Modi hailed the government's recent decision to confer classical language status on Pali.
The building was reportedly constructed without proper authorisation. The work continued despite a notice being issued to halt the illegal construction. The Assistant Executive Engineer (AEE) responsible for overseeing the area has been suspended, and notices have been issued to the relevant division and executive engineers.
