Indo Tibetan Border Police 'Himveers' display daunting courage, hoist tri colour at 18000 feet in minus 30 degrees

The Indo Tibeten Border Police (ITBP) once again gave a glimpse of its daunting spirit by hoisting the Indian flag in the icy heights of the Himalayas on Republic Day.

The 'Himveers' famously known as Snow Warriors of the ITBP hoisted the Tri Colour in spine chilling temperature of minus 30 degrees in the mountainous region. 

The Indo Tibetan Border Police was raised on Oct 24, 1962 after the Indo-China War. The Central Armed Police Force is deployed all along the Sino-India border to thwart any enemy aggression.
