For our brave men and women in uniform guarding our borders at all times little comes easy. That includes keeping fit, alert and training for their jobs. In a recent video, Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) personnel can be seen training in biting cold weather near the border in Uttarakhand.?
The video shows ITBP personnel or 'Himveers' holding their weapons and taking part in a physical drill at minus 25 degrees Celsius while standing knee-deep in snow.??
ITBO shared the video on their YouTube channel with the capton: '????????? ?? ??????? ??!?? ????????? ??? ????????? ?? ?????'
What's truly commendable is how effortlessly the men in uniform go through the exercise. For anyone watching, one thing is for sure - the vast expanse of snow and freezing cold temperatures don't make it easy for anyone, least of all for the brave men and women living and training there.
Indo-Tibetan Border Police was raised on October 24, 1962, after the Sino-Indian War with the aim to guard India's borders. This can mean keeping a watchful eye on borders that extend as far as?3,488km at altitudes as high as?18,800 ft. Now if that doesn't inspire pride and respect, what will.
