In a landmark achievement, the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) successfully scaled Mt. Makalu (8,485 m), the world's fifth highest peak, on April 19, marking the first-ever ascent of the peak by any Central Armed Police Force (CAPF), the force said on Friday.
The team is being led by Padma Shri Loveraj Singh Dharamshaktu, Deputy Commandant. The officer is the only mountaineer in our country who has scaled Mt Everest seven times.
