CHINA-INDIA: PLA TROOPS 'INTRUDE' INTO INDIAN TERRITORY AT DEMCHOK
|
Chinese troops reportedly ingressed at Demchok in Ladakh to protest against celebrations of Tibetan religious leader Dalai Lama’s birthday on July 6 in Indian villages. The Chinese intruders, according to reports, crossed the Indus to the Indian side to display banners and the Chinese flag. The Indian army refused to comment on the incident. The intrusion was not regarded as serious but part of the Chinese pin-prick tactics in the region. The Chinese obstruct Indian patrols in parts of Demchok area and this is part of the stalled India-China military talks. The latest incident occurred on July 6 at Doley Tango near Koyul, about 30km southeast of Demchok.
