Face-offs between patrol parties of Indian and Chinese armies in Ladakh continue after the Chinese troops continue to stop Indian Army from patrolling posts in the sector along the border which is well within India’s territory. Although both the armies maintain that these confrontations take place because both the troops have their own perceptions of borders.
With repairs of key highways including the one running through Aksai Chin , an Indian territory controlled by China and a plan of railway line the work of which would start by 2017,the threat on India has increase further. The improved highways and railway connects would enable China to transport large number of troops and equipment to Indian border. The Indian Army has responded by moving observation units and patrols closer to the Line of Actual Control.
China which claims whole of Arunachal Pradesh state of India, has been noticed intruding on the state borders, in the recent past and constructing roads on Indian sides as well.
None of the Governments of India, so far, have clearly been able to discuss boundary matters with China and China on the other hand, has been utilizing the opportunity to penetrate through north-eastern borders! Is India waiting for another attack and lose like that of Aksai Chin ? Are we so weak that we cannot clearly ask China to mind its own business and not claim Indian states,as its own ?
