ITBP to Establish All-Woman Forward Posts

ITBP to Establish All-Woman Forward Posts

The Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) is a special police force that guards the border between India and China.

They were created in 1962 and now have about 88,432 people working for them.

The ITBP does important jobs like watching the border, stopping illegal activities, and helping during natural disasters.

They also help with the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, a pilgrimage for many people.

The ITBP has a motto that means 'Bravery, Steadfastness, and Devotion to Duty.'

Recently, they announced that they will set up all-woman forward posts at 10 places along the border.

This is a big step to include more women in their work.

The ITBP also works with other countries in peacekeeping missions and takes care of important places in India.

They are part of a group of police forces that work under the Ministry of Home Affairs.
