The Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) has confirmed fresh face-offs and rising tensions along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Arunachal Pradesh, marking the first official acknowledgement of escalating border confrontations since July.
The ITBP Director General Shatrujeet Kapur said the force is strengthening its operational readiness to respond to potential security challenges along the sensitive frontier. As part of the preparedness drive, strike training for personnel across all units is expected to be completed before the end of 2027.
“The face-offs have been reported at several locations along the border, reflecting the situation on the ground. There have been rising tensions since July, and the northern border is now in focus.”
“From December, the force will undertake training across its units, with the necessary equipment being made available. We will continue to focus on training and preparedness. ITBP personnel have been deployed at multiple locations where face-offs have taken place. Talks are also underway, and the developments have been positive. The Army is also deployed in the area. We are strong and capable of dealing with the situation and remain committed to defending the border,” he added.
The force is also working to ensure that essential equipment is available at forward border outposts, enabling personnel to respond more effectively to sudden escalations and confrontations similar to the 2020 Galwan Valley clash.
The developments come amid continued deployment of ITBP and Indian Army personnel at strategically important locations along the high-altitude frontier. Troops remain stationed across key flashpoints to monitor movements, maintain vigilance and safeguard India's territorial interests.
