People living on China border our strategic assets, should not migrate: Rajnath

JOSHIMATH (UTTARAKHAND): Home Minister Rajnath Singh said today that people living along the China border were the country’s “strategic assets”, and directed the frontier guarding force ITBP to ensure that they did not migrate as this would put India’s security at risk.

Addressing locals and Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) troops at the 1st battalion camp here, Singh said the border population should be given more importance as the Government has “full faith and trust” in the people living in these remote areas.

“People living along the India-China border should not be made to migrate at any cost. They are our strategic assets. They should be given more importance. The day they will migrate…That will not be good for our border security,” he said. (AGENCIES)
