MHA plans to raise Border Wing Home Guards along China border to enhance security and intelligence collection efforts.
The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) is contemplating a plan to raise Border Wing Home Guards (BWHG) along the border with China, similar to the guards on the India-Pakistan border, officials told The Hindu.
The BWHGs draw from the civilian population living in border areas, and act as ancillaries to the Army and other border forces during emergencies. There are seven States authorised to have BWHGs: Meghalaya, Tripura, Assam, West Bengal, Punjab, Rajasthan, and Gujarat.
