Worst Chinese incursion in Ladakh's Chumur sector
The worst Chinese transgression in years took place at a time when neighbouring nation’s President Xi Jinping visited India, the first by a Chinese head of state in eight years.
The Chinese president began his three-day visit with a six-hour stop at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Gujarat. They also had a meeting in Ahmedabad.
India also rushed reinforcements to Chumur sector after learning the news of third such intrusion by armed Chinese troops in a little over a week.
Soldiers from both the sides were locked in an eyeball-to-eyeball confrontation at the border, sources said. A flag meeting between both the sides also ended without any progress on Wednesday night.
National Security Advisor Ajit Doval is reportedly monitoring the border dispute issue.
It was learnt that top officials of the Foreign and Defence Ministry are in talks with their Beijing counterparts to defuse tension before the Modi-Jinping meeting scheduled on Thursday in New Delhi.
