ARMY chiefs have hired a band of soldiers but are still lacking some privates because they are all EUNUCHS.
High-ranking army officers wanted a regiment solely made up of castrated men to guard India's borders.
The reason is they won't be "chasing women" all the time as they are just not interested.
Minister Tako Dabi, from the northeastern state of Arunachal Pradesh which borders China, said: "Eunuchs are healthy, they are strong and they were not always neglecting their duties chasing women."
The Indian arrangement comes after China set up outposts along its huge border manned by husband and wife soldier teams who live together hundreds of kilometres from the nearest town.
They have to survive without electricity and water supplies but at least they have each other.
Meanwhile India has decided to TACKLE its defence problems in a different way stripping its soldiers of all desire.
There are plenty of candidates too India is estimated to have nearly a million eunuchs, or hijras, and most survive by begging or working in the sex trade.
Others work by blessing newborn babies, weddings and housewarmings.
Minister Dabi added: "There are so many of them and most of them have lived very healthy lifestyles and look after themselves.
"Currently, most of are sex workers or beg on the streets so it would be much better to deploy them in this kind of work where they would not miss the company of the opposite sex."
