No Chinese incursions, but transgressions do occur: Govt in LS

NEW DELHI: There has been no instance of incursion by Chinese troops in Arunachal Pradesh and other border areas, but transgressions do occur, the Government told the Lok Sabha today.

Subhash Bhamre, Minister of State for Defence, in a written reply said, the Government takes up any transgression along the LAC (Line of Actual Control) with China through established mechanisms– such as border personnel meetings, flag meetings.

The matter is also raised through Working Mechanism for Consultation and Coordination on India-China Border Affairs and diplomatic channels.

“There have been no instances of incursions of Chinese troops in Arunachal Pradesh and other border areas. Since there is no commonly delineated Line of Actual Control in the border areas between India and China, there are other areas along the LAC where both sides have differing perception of LAC.

“As both sides undertake patrolling upto their respective perception of the LAC, transgression do occur,” Bhamre said. (AGENCIES)
