NEW DELHI: The Indian Army today maintained that no bulldozers were used when its bunkers were destroyed by the Chinese army amid the current standoff with China in the Sikkim sector.
The army also denied that the border standoff with China is the longest ever since 1962.
“The incident is not the longest standoff between the two nations,” said a statement issued by the Army spokesman here.
The spokesman also said that no bulldozers were “ever employed” for destroying the Indian bunkers and that no physical scuffle had occurred between the personnel of Indian Army and the People’s Liberation Army(PLA). A senior Government functionary had earlier said that bulldozers were used to destroy the Indian bunkers. (AGENCIES)
