Lucknow, 24 October (HS.): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi

Adityanath congratulated the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) on its

Foundation Day / Raising Day (observed annually on October 24). He complimented

the Himveers (ITBP members) and their families for their bravery,

discipline, and devotion to protecting the nation's borders in tough Himalayan

climes and sub-zero temperatures. The Indo-Tibetan Border Police was founded on

October 24, 1962, in response to Chinese aggressiveness along the India-China frontier.

UP CM mentioned in a post on X, “Heartfelt congratulations

and best wishes to all the Himveers of @ITBP_official and their families on the Foundation Day of

the 'Indo-Tibetan Border Police'. Our brave soldiers steadfastly protect the

nation's borders even in the extremely harsh conditions of the Himalayas and

temperatures below zero. The valour, courage, and dedication with which you

safeguard our borders fills every Indian with pride. Jai Hind.”
