India plans to fortify China border

New Delhi: In a major step to fortify defences along the China border, over 50 new border posts are being planned for the Indo-Tibetan Border Police in Arunachal Pradesh.

Sources said a proposal for creating 54 modern posts for the ITBP is under consideration of the MHA after a proposal was submitted by the force in this regard.

“The MHA has in principle given its nod for the proposal which is being processed,” the sources said.

Arunachal Pradesh shares 1,126 km of its international border with China, second in length after J&K.
