Live! Three Chinese incursions in Ladakh in last five days: sources

July 22, 2013 08:33

Despite recent statements by Beijing of its intent to improve ties with New Delhi, reports of Chinese incursion into Indian territory continue. Sources have told NDTV that Chinese troops intruded into Chumar sector in Ladakh region thrice - on July 16, 18, and 20 - in the last five days.

On each of these occasions, the soldiers intruded about three kilometres into the Indian side and spent several hours before going back. The reported incursions in Chumar come on the back of the Indian Army getting the go-ahead to raise a 50,000-strong Mountain Strike Corps along the border with China.

The move is a major boost to the Army's war-fighting capabilities along the Line of Actual Control that has witnessed several instances of incursion by Chinese troops.
