Indo-Tibetan Border Police (Water Wing) is a special unit of Indo-Tibetan Border Police of India.
The Water Wing of ITBP was established on 30 August 2011, with an initial strength over 125 personnel led by a commandant. It is responsible for patrolling riverine borders of Himalayan regions. This includes Pangong Tso Lake, Chang Chenmo River, Shyok River and Indus River in Leh district, and Brahmaputra river in Arunachal Pradesh.[1] [2] It offer logistical assistance to BoPs stationed there, aid in disaster management during water-related emergencies, and train ITBP soldiers in water-based operations. Its headquarters is at Tezpur, Assam. The Brahmaputra River, which flows here, offers a good site for its training.
