Chinese troops crossed the Sikkim border and destroyed two make-shift bunker
s of the army, reports the Press Trust of India.
The face-off in the remote area lasted 10 days, said the news agency, adding
that "the Indian troops had to struggle hard to stop the Chinese personnel
from advancing further into Indian territory."
Indian soldiers according to Press Trust of India "formed a human wall along
the Line of Actual Control (LAC)" to block the Chinese troops from progress
ing further into the region. Pictures and videos of the stand-off exist, acc
ording to the report.
A meeting was also held between senior army officers of both the sides on Ju
ne 20, but the tension still continues.
Chinese forces had in November 2008 destroyed some makeshift Indian army bun
kers at the same remote place -Doko La, a place at the Sikkim-Bhutan-Tibet t
ri-junction.
China has also refused to let Indian pilgrims undertaking the Kailash-Mansar
ovar Yatra from crossing the Sikkim border to visit Mount Kailash in Tibet.
The journey is of religious and cultural significance for Hindus, Jains and
Buddhists and in 2015, China agreed at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's reques
t to let Indians access the mountain, considered the abode of Lord Shiva, th
rough Sikkim, which is a relatively easier route than through a pass in Utta
rakhand.
The pilgrims were kept waiting for nearly a week at the border after which t
hey returned to Gangtok, the capital of Sikkim.
China allegedly said that landslides meant they could not transport the pilg
rims in buses on its side of the border.
India and China have been unable to resolve their border dispute after the 1
962 war. China claims Arunachal Pradesh as South Tibet, and has been told re
peatedly by Delhi that the north-eastern state is an integral part of India.
Delhi says Beijing has occupied its territory in the Ladakh plateau.
Both sides have held nearly 20 rounds of border talks since the early 1990s,
with little progress.
Small incursions are common across the Line of Actual Control, the de facto
border that runs some 4,000 km (2,500 miles) across the Himalayas.
Recently, China objected vehemently to India allowing the Dalai Lama, the 81
-year-old spiritual leader of millions of Tibetans, to tour Arunachal Prades
h. Beijing is also upset with India rebuffing its major Belt and Silk Road i
nitiative, which is designed to connect China to the rest of Asia through la
nd and sea corridors.
India chose not to attend a summit earlier this month in Beijing which saw r
epresentatives from nearly 60 countries including the US gather for details
of the project. |
