Chinese team enters 1 kilometre into Arunachal Pradesh on 28 Dec: Sources claim they had 'road construction machines'
New Delhi: Chinese road-building teams entered around one kilometre inside Indian territory in Tuting area of Arunachal Pradesh last week but returned after being confronted by Indian troops, government sources said on Wednesday.
The sources said the civilian teams came for track alignment activities and returned when confronted by the Indian troops, leaving behind various road building equipment including excavators. According to local villagers in Arunachal Pradesh, the Chinese team members included civilians as well as uniformed personnel.
The incident took place on 28 December, nearly four months after the end of the 73-day long Doka La standoff between Indian and Chinese troops in the Sikkim sector.
The sources said on 28 December, Indian border patrolling personnel observed few Chinese civilians undertaking track alignment activity one kilometre inside the Indian territory in Tuting area.
They maintained there was "no face off" between the two sides and that the issue is being resolved through an established mechanism.
The government sources said the road building equipment are lying on the Indian side of the Line of Actual Control (LAC).
According to local villagers in Arunachal Pradesh, Chinese soldiers were involved in road construction work in the area and that Indian security personnel intercepted them near Bising village under Tuting subdivision.
