Home Minister P Chidambaram while addressing ITBP men on
their 48th raising day on Friday had said, "We are considering
an ITBP restructuring plan. The plan includes measures to
strengthen border posts".

The government has also decided to provide more than 100
satellite phones, all terrain vehicles and oxygen cylinders to
ITBP troops on the border.
The troops deployed here will also have high-altitude
clothing on par with army troops who are stationed at the
Siachen glacier.
The Ministry of Home Affairs has also sanctioned
computers, recovery vehicles, fibre-reinforced polymer huts,
high-power snow cutters, deep-search mine metal detectors,
hand grenade simulators and other surveillance devices for
the ITBP troops.
ITBP Director-General Vikram Srivastava had said the
troops will also be provided with modern BOPs which will
be equipped with solar power generating apparatus.
"Every BOP will be provided with two 620 litres capacity
oxygen cylinders. A number of such initiatives have been taken
for the benefit of our troops posted at these difficult
areas," Srivastava said. PTI NES
