With fresh reports of incursion in the Ladakh region, a local councillor has reiterated that Chinese troops frequently intrude into the Indian territory and even threaten Indian shepherds.
“Last year when shepherds from 5-6 villages were grazing cattle in our winter pasture area ...the Chinese troops troubled them. They (Chinese troops) pressurised the villagers to leave the place,” Nawang Norboo, councillor of the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council (LAHDC) representing the Nyoma block, said in Demchok village. Norboo said Beijing seemed to have beefed up the troops along the border.
“One change we witnessed during the past one year is that when we asked the villagers about their interaction with the Chinese troops, they told us that earlier they had an interaction with the Chinese Border Police but for the first time they saw troops of the People’s LiberationArmy in the area,” he added.
Official sources have said the Chinese troops entered nearly 1.5 km into the Indian territory near Mount Gya, which is recognised as the International Border by India and China, and painted the word 'China' in Cantonese on the boulders and rocks there with red spray paint. The incursions were reported from the area generally referred in the Chumar sector east of Leh. — ANI
