The Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) commandos conducted training in minus 15 degree Celsius temperature at Uttarakhand’s Chamoli. The training includes unarmed combat and martial arts where the ITBP personnel could be seen practicing karate without any clothes over their bodies. The ITBP has been deployed to the icy heights of the Himalayas primarily from 9,000 to 18,750 feet where almost all the places offer bone-chilling cold and snow conditions prevailing throughout the year. Due to their continuous deployment in these conditions, the ITBP personnel are known as 'Himveers or the snow braves of the Himalayas.' Such training in the snow conditions provides them with the conditioning ofthe body and mind so that they would be ready to battle when needed.
