THIS BATCH OF INDIAN SOLDIERS TO GET 1/2 DAY LEAVE ON BIRTHDAYS

The Indo-Tibetan Border Police that guards India's frontier with China has decided to grant troopers a half-day off and the choice to not wear a uniform on their birthday along with a cake and a bouquet.
 

A beginning was made recently at a number of formations of the 90,000-strong border guarding force. The unit notice board will henceforth mention the name of personnel whose birthday it is and be greeted with a bouquet by a senior official.

The order, further, said, "Happiness increases when we share it. Our jawans have to live away from their families for long so we have decided to make their birthday special."
