· India · Indian Express, Times of India
Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu stated that border transgressions by Chinese forces are nothing new because China does not recognize the McMahon Line. Speaking in Tawang, the CM described the current situation along the 1,200 km border as normal, noting that patrolling parties from both sides occasionally cross into each other's territory. His comments follow reports of ongoing face-offs between Indian and Chinese troops at several locations in the state. The Ministry of External Affairs noted that such incidents occur when Chinese forces deviate from established patrolling patterns.
