Know about ITBP.... The Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) is an Indian force conceived on October 24, 1962 for security along the Indias border with the Tibet Autonomous Region of China, border covering 3488 kilometres. It is one of the Central Armed Police Forces. Only four battalions were sanctioned to begin with, to fill up the security vacuum that was prevalent at that time on the Indo-Tibetan border. Later in view of the additional responsibilities and the task redefined in 1976, the Force was restructured in 1978. The ITBP is trained in Civil Medical Camp, disaster management, and nuclear, biological and chemical disasters. ITBP personnel have been deployed abroad in UN peacekeeping missions in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Sierra Leone, Haiti, Western Sahara, Sudan, Afghanistan and elsewhere.
