Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday lauded the Indo-Tibet Border Police (ITBP), calling them 'Himveer' (snow bravehearts) and said no one can encroach even an inch of our land when they are there at the borders.
Shah was speaking at the inauguration of newly constructed buildings of Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) in Karnataka’s Devanhalli region, wherein he also laid the foundation stone for a Central Detective Training Institute (CDTI) of the Bureau of Police Research and Development (BPR&D).
"We cannot even imagine how they guard our borders in minus 42 degrees Celsius temperature. This can happen only with strong willpower and a supreme degree of patriotism. The ITBP works in the odd geographical conditions in Arunachal Pradesh, Ladakh or Jammu and Kashmir," Shah said.
"I am always assured and never worry at all about the Indo-China border when our ITBP soldiers are patrolling or camping because no one there can encroach even an inch of our land," the Union Home Minister said.
He also announced that the government is planning to provide 100 off days for the Central Armed Police Force (CAPF) personnel to spend time with their family at their headquarters.
Speaking about the importance of research, he said police becomes irrelevant when it stops thinking about the changes happening in society and reforms itself accordingly.
"The Bureau of Police Research and Development (BPR&D) is an institution that gives a big strength to the police but unfortunately, it did not get the attention it deserved. Also, it did not receive the recognition it should have got," Shah said.
"Our society has the tendency to continuous change. In 25 to 50 years, the thinking, shape, goals and path of society change. When the police stop thinking of this change, then it becomes irrelevant. If you want to understand and feel this change and modify with the change then research is very essential," the Home Minister said.
He also underlined systemic and systematic reform should be a continuous process and hence it is important to draw strategies based on the research work.
