Chinese incursion: India to take steps to protect interests
India will take “every step” to protect its interests to resolve
the situation arising out of deep incursion by Chinese
troops into Indian territory in eastern Ladakh, Defence
Minister A.K. Antony said on Monday.
“We are taking every action to protect our interest... We will
take every step to protect our interest,” he told reporters
outside Parliament House.
He was asked the government’s response to the Chinese
incursion some 10 to 12 km deep into Indian territory.
Government sources have already said that India and
China are in touch to resolve the issue of Chinese incursion
into Indian territory in Daulat Beg Oldi (DBO) sector in
eastern Ladakh and erecting a tented post.
According to government sources, the issue was raised by
India after the incident came to light some time ago.
A Platoon-strength contingent of China’s People’s
Liberation Army (PLA) came 10 km inside the Indian
territory in Burthe in DBO sector, which is at an altitude of
about 17,000 feet, on the night of April 15 and established
a tented post there, according to highly placed sources
which said a Chinese Army Platoon usually consists of
around 50 men.
