The Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) has recommended names of 21 of its men for gallantry medals and 294 for DG's gallantry commendations at this year's Independence Day. These personnel faced the Chinese troops during the skirmishes in May-June, 2020 in Ladakh. The ITBP troops not only effectively used shield to protect themselves but also responded fiercely to the advancing troops of PLA and brought the situation under control.
