Key internal meeting on China postponed

New Delhi, Sep 17 (PTI) A meeting of top officials convened by National Security Adviser M K Narayanan today to discuss the situation along the Sino-Indian border has been postponed.

The meeting was of the China Study Group that comprises senior officials including Cabinet Secretary K M Chandrasekhar and Secretaries of Defence, Home and Foreign Ministries.

The meeting was understood to have been postponed in the wake of "media hype" on the Chinese incursions along the Sino-Indian border and fresh dates are yet to be worked out.

There was intense media focus on the meeting in the wake of recent reports of incursion by the Chinese army in Ladakh, including air dropping of expired food cans, painting of rocks red besides others.

"We will hold the meeting quietly," a senior official said.

Top officials of the three armed forces and the Intelligence Bureau were also to attend today's meeting.(PTI)
