Why is ITBP overhauling its training and combat strategy along the China border? Explained
The Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) is revamping its training programmes and combat tactics for deployment along the Himalayan frontier with China. Established after the 1962 war, the force aims to improve high‑altitude warfare skills, modernise equipment, and enhance joint operations with the army. The changes respond to evolving security challenges and the need for better readiness on the disputed border.
