“No one (ITBP personnel) ever told us that they want to go down. It was just that those who grew weak and fell ill were prioritised for evacuation. We never had to care about these boys who were in no better condition than those who were stranded,” ITBP Deputy Commandant A K Sachan said.
Sachan had reached here after monitoring operations in Kedarnath and Gaurikund for nine days.
ITBP has now begun to bring down its boys from the troubled areas and is replacing them with fresh contingents.
