Amit
Shah
said
the
Government
of
India
is
planning
to
provide
100
days
for
the
Central
Armed
Police
Force
(CAPF)
personnel
to
spend
time
with
their
family
at
their
headquarters.

Bengaluru,
Dec
31:
Union
Home
Minister
Amit
Shah
on
Saturday
asserted
that
no
one
can
encroach
even
an
inch
of
our
land
when
the
Indo-Tibet
Border
Police
(ITBP)
are
guarding
the
borders.

Speaking
at
the
inauguration
of
newly
constructed
buildings
of
Indo-Tibetan
Border
Police
(ITBP)
here
in
Karnataka’s
Devanhalli
region,
Amit
Shah
said
they
guard
our
borders
in
harsh
conditions
and
that
the
title
of
‘Himaveer’ for
them
is
bigger
than
Padma
Sri
and
Padma
Vibhushan.

“We
cannot
even
imagine
how
they
guard
our
borders
in
minus
42
degree
Celsius
temperature.
This
can
happen
only
with
a
strong
willpower
and
supreme
degree
of
patriotism.
The
ITBP
works
in
the
odd
geographical
conditions
in
Arunachal
Pradesh,
Ladakh
or
Jammu
and
Kashmir,” Shah
said
after
inaugurating
the
Central
Detective
Training
Institute
of
the
ITBP
here.

Among
all
the
central
armed
police
forces,
the
ITPB
works
in
the
most
odd
weather
conditions,
he
pointed
out.

“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
Home
Minister
said.

He
also
said
the
Government
of
India
is
planning
to
provide
100
days
for
the
Central
Armed
Police
Force
(CAPF)
personnel
to
spend
time
with
their
family
at
their
headquarters.

“This
is
necessary
from
a
human
point
of
view,”
Shah
added.

The
Home
Minister
also
told
the
gathering
that
ever
since
Prime
Minister
Narendra
Modi-led
Bharatiya
Janata
Party
government
came
to
power
at
the
Centre
it
improved
the
housing
and
health
facilities
of
the
CAPF.

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.

He
pointed
out
that
the
responsibility
to
carry
out
research
work
on
behalf
of
the
entire
police
of
the
country
and
the
Central
Armed
Police
Forces
lies
on
BPR&D.

Cooperation
between
the
institutions,
organising
seminars,
learning
from
best
practices
and
challenges,
make
the
police
relevant,
Shah
said.

The
Home
Minister
emphasised
upon
coordination
between
police
of
different
states
in
India
where
the
Law
and
Order
is
a
state
subject.

In
India,
coordination
and
cooperation
is
necessary
because
law
and
order
is
a
state
subject
with
cultural
diversity.
However,
criminals
too
have
cultural
diversity
because
they
too
are
part
of
the
culture,
and
pose
different
kinds
of
challenges,
Shah
said.
