Patna: The BJP on Sunday demanded that the
government set up a parliamentary group for detailed study and

level.

recommendations of the China Study Group on Border
Infrastructure Development, BJP spokesman Rajiv Pratap Rudy

a BJP fact finding committee on Chinese incursions was
submitted at the party national executive.

creating new posts to man the gaps at different points for
which the strength of ITBP should be increased.

match deployment on Chinese side of the border and improvement
in roads and communications.

finding team for its work.
