Rajnath urges border citizens not to migrate
Home Minister Rajnath Singh said on Saturday that people living along the China border were the country’s "strategic assets", and directed the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) to ensure that they did not migrate as this would put India’s security at risk. "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.
