National Security Advisor Ajit Doval on Wednesday lauded ITBP troops for displaying exceptional courage and morale during their "face offs" with the Chinese PLA troops along the Sino-Indian border.
Doval, who was the chief guest at the 54th Raising Day celebrations of the border guarding force here, said the troops deserve the compliments as they "did not leave their area" despite the other side conducting their activities and patrols which led to confrontation between the two sides. "The troops conducted their task with a great morale," he said. The top official in the security establishment of the country said the government is alive to the challenges and issues faced by these troops and those in other forces and he he was very "hopeful" that the 7th Pay Commission and few other schemes that the government is framing for the men and women in combat will come about satisfactorily.
"Your problems have been put before the government and it will be our effort to do the best for you," he said while addressing the men and officers of the force at their camp.
