ISLAMABAD - Indian Army has been slammed back at home over inefficiency against Chinese Army at the Northern borders of the country.
The Indian Army has denied claims of Arunachal Pradesh BJP MP Tapir Gao about a Chinese intrusion in the northeastern state of Arunachal Pradesh near the Line of Actual Control (LAC).
The BJP MP on Wednesday had said in a Facebook post that Chinese troops intruded inside the Indian territory for over 60 kilometres and built a wooden bridge in Anjaw district bordering China. He had said the wooden bridge was built in August near Chaglagam, which is the last security outpost.
"The McMahon line (which demarcates India-China border) is at a distance of approximately 100 km from Chaglagam, now if China makes a bridge at a distance of 25 km from Chaglagam, that implies China is already 60-70 km into our territory," he had said.
Reacting to this, the Army clarified that there has been no such incursion. "There is a differing perception of the alignment of the LAC, as in many other areas.
The terrain is thickly vegetated and all movements are undertaken on foot along nalas and streams. During monsoons whenever the nalas are in spate, temporary bridges are constructed by the patrols for their movement," news agency IANS quoted an Army statement.
