Explanation

The Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) is one of India's Central Armed Police Forces. Here is the evaluation of the statements:

  • Statement 1: ITBP was raised on October 24, 1962, during the Indo-China War, making it the primary force for the Sino-Indian border.
  • Statement 2: It is indeed a specialized mountain force. Personnel are rigorously trained in high-altitude survival, mountaineering, and skiing to operate at altitudes ranging from 9,000 to 18,700 feet.
  • Statement 3: Following the 'One Border One Force' policy in 2004, ITBP replaced the Assam Rifles for border guarding duties along the entire stretch of the Indo-China border in Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh.
  • Statement 4: This is incorrect. By the time of the 2018 exam, ITBP's sanctioned strength had increased to 56 service battalions (up from 45 in earlier years).

Therefore, statements 1, 2, and 3 are correct.
