Centre plans revival of Border Wing Home Guards following Ladakh unrest and Pahalgam attack

Following recent border unrest and the Pahalgam attack, the union government plans to revive Border Wing Home Guards (BWHG) with local recruits. These guards will serve as 'eyes and ears' for forces like ITBP and BSF along China and Pakistan borders. The initiative, previously disbanded due to monetary issues, aims to enhance security, though payment remains a contentious point.
