The government has decided to shift the frontier headquarters of the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) from Meghalaya to Arunachal Pradesh, closer to the Line of Actual Control (LAC).
The north-eastern headquarters, which is located at Shillong, will be shifted to Itanagar. "The area of operations of the ITBP is along the Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim border, so it is practical enough to shift the base to somewhere closer to the border.The headquarters in Meghalaya will not serve the purpose," Kiren Rijiju, Minister of State for Home, said. The ITBP has been based in Shillong since 2004.
