NEW DELHI: Indian and Chinese soldiers are locked in a tense face-off along the border in Sikkim after the latter intruded into Indian territory, destroyed two bunkers and stopped a batch of pilgrims headed for the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra.
Sources said the People's Liberation Army troops had "transgressed" into Indian territory in the Doka La region at the Sikkim-Bhutan-Tibet tri-junction and destroyed the two Indian Army bunkers in Lalten area.
"There was some jostling between the rival troops. Our soldiers formed a human wall to deny the PLA troops from making further inroads," said a source.
