Army wants operational control of ITBP for better border posture against China

NEW DELHI: With Chinese troops continuing with their aggressive transgressions across the Line of Actual Control (LAC), the Army wants the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) to be placed under its operational control for better border management. Defence ministry sources said the Army contends Indias border management posture will acquire the much-needed cohesion, coordination and synergy required to counter the Peoples Liberation Armys offensive posture if ITBP is placed under its jurisdiction. The Army feels such a step will prove operationally productive as well as ensure optimal utilisation of resources especially in eastern Ladakh where ITBP, one of the seven central police forces under the home ministry, is responsible for border management of 826 km of the LAC.
