India moves strategic ITBP command to Leh, to counter China’s military buildup in Tibet
By: PTI | Updated: January 17, 2019 8:18 PM
The Army, which carved out a separate Corps in Leh after Jammu and Srinagar following the Kargil intrusion in 1999, has been demanding operational control over the ITBP, a proposal rejected by the government time and again.

Amid growing concerns over the Chinese military buildup along the eastern flank of the country, the government has ordered moving a strategic ITBP command from its current base in Chandigarh by over 960 km to the border of Leh in Jammu and Kashmir, official sources said Thursday. The North West (NW) frontier of the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), tasked to guard the 3,488-km long Sino-India border in peace times, is headed by an Inspector General (IG) of police-rank officer, which is equivalent to a Major General rank in the Army.

The frontier, according to documents accessed by PTI, has been ordered to move ‘lock, stock, and barrel’ by March-end and will have to be operationalised at the new location from April 1. The Leh district in the mountains of Jammu and Kashmir is the base for the 14 Corps of the Army that is headed by a Lt General-rank officer and the new shift will allow a better interaction between the two forces “for strategic and defence planning”, official sources said.

The Army, which carved out a separate Corps in Leh after Jammu and Srinagar following the Kargil intrusion in 1999, has been demanding operational control over the ITBP, a proposal rejected by the government time and again. Having the ITBP and the Army at the same operational location will resolve these issues as well, the sources said.

ITBP Director General (DG) S S Deswal confirmed the move to the news agency, saying the new frontier will be moved from Chandigarh to Leh and will be made operational from April this year. “We have to be on the border and that is why the frontier is being sent to the forward area,” the DG said. The Union home ministry had first mooted the proposal for this strategic move in 2015 but it did not materialise owing to some “administrative reasons”.

As per the blueprint of deployment approved by the government for the ITBP, the Leh frontier of the border guarding force will have three sectors that will be based in Leh, Srinagar and Chandigarh and each of these will be headed by a Deputy IG-rank officer.

The ITBP, at present, has about half a dozen battalions deployed along the Chinese border that runs along Jammu and Kashmir and official sources said once the frontier starts operating from its new base in Leh, it will oversee the induction of more battalions that the force is inducting to enhance its presence on this icy, blizzard-prone mountainous border.

The ITBP has recently inducted a mechanised column of vehicles and communication equipment and all the weapons, artillery and combat paraphernalia will now be moved to Leh, that has both road and air connectivity. The force also has sanctions to create and refurbish 40 Border Out Posts (BoPs) in these icy heights of Ladakh, where personnel have to face hostile weather as the mercury slips to as low as minus 40 degrees Celsius and the altitude ranges from 8,000-14,000 feet.

Modern ‘composite’ BoPs, which have weather control mechanism and facilities for better drinking water and rest and recuperation, are also being created for the ITBP troops in this region. Leh, till now, had an ITBP sector establishment headed by a DIG-rank officer. The about-90,000-strong force not only guards the scenic Pangong lake in this area but also the upper reaches of the Himalayan mountain ranges that run across China.

As a part of its efforts to strengthen the military muscle along the China border, the government had similarly moved the North East (NE) frontier of the ITBP from Shillong in Meghalaya to Itanagar in Arunachal Pradesh in 2016. Both the Arunachal Pradesh and the Leh regions have seen frequent incidents of incursions, standoffs and few instances of physical pushing and shoving between the troops of the Chinese PLA and the ITBP and the Army personnel over the last few years.

The 73 day-long military standoff between India and China in Doklam (Sikkim) in 2017 is a grim reminder of these instances. Sources, however, added that 2018 saw an about 60 per cent decline in these incidents all along the eastern border front that the Indian states of Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh share with China.

LMAO how long have u been here the strategic importance of Siachen has been discussed many times over.
Why even give these Paki even an inch of land, I advise to take Cholistan and Bahawalpur and Sindh as well.

De militarization was to be done if both parties are agreeing to leave the glacier. It doesnt mean we are allowing the porks to build toilets on our part and we will open defecate in the valley. This was just an option to minimice casualty. The porks wont leave the glacier then we will stay there.

Except that the Pakistanis are not on the glacier which is fully under Indian control. The LOAC is on the Soltoro ridge, west of the glacier where IA controls all the heights. The Pakistanis cannot even see the glacier from their positions, let alone be on it. There are no significant casualties in Siachen anymore. We are going to stay there for the foreseeable future, Any Deal on Siachen will be only as a part of an overall settlement of Kashmir, not otherwise.

Absolutely! We had two Doberman Pinschers when we were operating in the Valley in the early 90s. They helped us corner and gun down dozens of terrorists.

We promoted them both to the rank of Naik for the excellent work they did!!! Here's a canine - a Sergeant!!! This is how they are outfitted.

They're replacing the dobermans with Mudhol hounds. It's a south Indian breed of tall dogs.

Fantastic dogs from the place in Karnataka that it is named after. There were some doubts as to how it would handle cold temperatures but I guess that will take some time to know.

Yep. They seem to be generally better - but are not suited for extreme cold...

 

[Haldiram]

Yep. They seem to be generally better - but are not suited for extreme cold...

They are probably meant for non-Kashmiri areas, (red corridor, N.E). In Kashmir they have Bakharwal dogs.

This breed has no issues with the ice.

This is taken in Siachen :

Indian Army always a step ahead of Pakistan: Lt-Gen Ranbir Singh
TNN | Updated: Jan 18, 2019, 08:06 IST

NEW DELHI: With the Army having killed five Pakistani soldiers and injured some others along the Line of Control over the last few days,

Northern Command chief
Lt-General
Ranbir Singh
on Thursday said it showed his force was always ready to give a befitting reply to any misadventure from across the border.

"The
Indian Army
always stays a step ahead of Pakistan, and is giving a befitting reply to them," said Lt-Gen Singh, adding that "wireless and other intercepts" showed the Pak Army and militants had suffered "huge losses in our retaliatory action"
2018 has been a great year for the security forces. More than 250 terrorists were killed, 54 were caught alive, and four surrendered to the forces," he added.


Former J&K chief minister Omar Abdullah, however, latched on to the "great year" part to criticise the top officer. "I beg to differ, a great year would be one in which no young man would join militancy, no terrorists would be killed & no security personnel would lose their lives in encounters. The compulsion of killing militants/terrorists shouldn't be treated as a cause for celebration," he tweeted.
