40 more ITBP commandos for Afghanistan

New Delhi, Mar 12 (PTI) Following the audacious attack in
Kabul on places frequented by Indians, the government on
Friday decided to send 40 additional ITBP commandos to secure
its people and installations in the war-hit country.

The Indo-Tibetan Border Police commandos would leave
for the neighbouring country on Saturday.
Sources said while some would be deployed in the Indian
missions, a few others would be stationed in guest houses
frequently used by Indians involved in development work,
official sources said here.
A team of central security agencies would also leave for
Afghanistan shortly to review the security situation.
Based on the report filed by the team, sources said the
government would decide whether to scale up the deployment
of Indian security personnel.
Seven Indians, including three major-rank Army
officers were killed when Taliban suicide bombers carried out
a string of attacks in the heart of Kabul on February 26, in
yet another incident targeting Indian interests in
Afghanistan.
India is reworking its strategy on its presence there
while continuing with the developmental projects to which it
has affirmed its commitment. MORE PTI SAP
