ADG-rank officer to head ITBP Eastern Command

New Delhi : After making operational the Western Command centre in Chandigarh, the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), which guards the LAC with China, has posted an officer of the rank of Additional Director-General to head its newly created Guwahati-based Eastern Command.

 

ADG Amrit Mohan Prasad, posted at the ITBP headquarters here, has been transferred and posted as ADG of the Eastern Command. The command office will manage ITBP battalions posted along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) with China in states like Arunachal, Sikkim and Assam with frontiers at Itanagar (northeast) and Lucknow (east) and sector offices at Likabali, Tezpur, Dibrugarh, Gangtok, among others.

The command in Assam’s capital Guwahati will also supervise ITBP battalions deployed for anti-Naxal operations in Chhattisgarh. The mountain-warfare trained force had similarly posted an officer in the rank of Inspector-General in June to head its Western Command located in Chandigarh. — TNS
