ITBP jawans are known to protect the country in the coldest temperatures. Currently, they guard the second highest outpost in the world OP Dorjila Post at 18,750 feet where temperatures go down to -35 degree Celsius.
We can’t even imagine functioning at these temperatures. Recently, a video of an ITBP Commandant doing push-ups at 17,500 feet in Ladakh surfaced on social media.
