The government is considering getting down Gurkha soldiers from India to beef up the security of top political leaders who face grave threats to their lives, reports said.

A proposal in this regard has already been made to the Ministry of Defence, and it will be taken up at government level in due course.

Gurkha soldiers are the top choice of heads of state and other VVIPs of several Asian countries to care for their security, as they are considered top experts in their profession.

A final decision is to be taken after a special security requirement assessment of the top political leadership, according to reports.
