People along China border are country's strategic assets, says Home Minister

Home Minister Rajnath Singh has said, people living along the China border are country's strategic assets and should not be made to migrate at any cost. <br/><br/>Addressing locals and Indo-Tibetan Border Police personnel at Joshimath in Uttarakhand yesterday, Mr Singh directed the frontier guarding force to ensure that the people did not migrate as this would put India's security at risk. <br/><br/>He said, the border population should be given more importance as the government has full faith and trust in the people living in these remote areas. <br/><br/>The Minister asked the border force to hold special camps to help the locals and assist them in redressing their problems.<br/><br/>Mr Singh also visited Mana, an ITBP border post and met jawans. He said, the Sino-India border dispute can be resolved through a structural dialogue and a positive approach.<br/><br/> The 'Mana' post is located in Chamoli district as the last battalion centre of the paramilitary that serves forward border bases along the Line of Actual Control.<br/><br/>The Home Minister is on a four-day visit to Uttarakhand.
