Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu stated on Thursday that transgressions by Chinese patrolling parties along the 1,200 km border with Tibet-China occur periodically but do not constitute intrusions, describing the current situation as normal. He emphasized that the border is not demarcated on the ground, making such incidents recurring, and affirmed that Indian armed forces are effectively guarding the frontier. His remarks回应 recent comments by Indo-Tibetan Border Police Director General Shatrujeet Kapur, who said face-offs between Indian and Chinese troops continue at several locations in the state.
Khandu, speaking ahead of the 14th International Tourism Mart in Tawang, dismissed media reports of heightened tension as exaggerated, stating there is no matter of concern. Union Tourism Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat echoed this, asserting that borders are secure under the Narendra Modi government and warning against false narratives. The Ministry of External Affairs noted that the situation along the Line of Actual Control gets disturbed from time to time when Chinese forces diverge from established patrolling patterns.
