Too many intrusions by China in April

The Home Ministry has submitted a dossier to Prime Minister Modi on an increased number of 16 transgressions by the Chinese troops along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) despite the confidence building measures supposed to be implemented by both sides.

The dossier, detailing border violations in both western and eastern sectors by the People's Liberation Army, was readied to let Modi raise it in his scheduled bilateral meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Saturday when they take stock of the implementation of the decisions taken at an informal summit in Wuhan on the sidelines of a 2day Shanghai cooperation organisation summit in the Chinese coastal city of Qingdao from Saturday.

The sources said the tension on the India-China frontier is still high even after both sides agreed to disengage the troops from Doklam last August. The Defence Ministry sources said the armies of both sides are already holding regular flag marches and joint patrolling to reduce the escalating tension.

The dossier was hurriedly prepared on the situation on 3,488 km long undefined international border that intrude into the Indian states of Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh and Jammu Kashmir as the PM wants to raise the issue during his China trip to reolve the differences to turn LAC into a permanent border.
