Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Wednesday asked the Central Government to send out a strong and firm message to China on the recent intrusion in the Ladakh area by Chinese troops, and added that this kind of situation always puts people living in frontier areas under difficulty, besides hampering the development process.


"We would like the Central Government to take up this issue with both China and Pakistan strongly and on same terms so that no such incident takes place in future,' Abdullah said, adding that the Union Government's dealing on such issues should be unambiguous and similar vis-a-vis both neighbours.
