"Between family and country...you give priority to India": Amit Shah at 62nd raising day of ITBP
Amit Shah on Friday paid tributes at the 62nd raising day of the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) and said that the service which started 62 years ago has emerged as a strong face of nation's security.
Speaking at the ceremony, Home Minister Amit Shah said «ITBP, which started 62 years ago with 7 divisions, has today emerged as a strong force with 60 divisions, 17 training centres, 5 frontiers and 2 commando headquarters with 1 lakh personnel. When your family needs you, the country needs you at the same time but you give priority to the country.
Today the quota of our Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) on the lines of army in aviation and rail has decided which will be beneficial for you all.»
Further, Amit Shah spoke about the building which will help the soldiers posted at high level at -45 degrees Celsius.
«Self-Sustainable Energy Building, it has been e-launched today. At an altitude of 17,000 feet, it will become a symbol of 'Atmanirbhar Bharat'.
This is a unique gift from PM Modi and the Home Ministry. When diesel and kerosene are not available at -45 degrees, this building will provide a safe environment for our soldiers.
Its work has been completed within just 2 months. I would like to congratulate all behind this,» he said.
«One thing Modi ji had thought about was whether drones could deliver life-saving items to villages located at high altitude.
