Chinese Troops Make Fresh Incursion Bid in Ladakh
LADAKH; Chinese troops made a fresh attempt to violate the LAC (Line of Actual Contol) with India in Chumar area in Ladakh on Sunday and retreated only after Indians troops requested them.
Chumar, located 300 km east of Leh, has been an epicentre of heightened activities of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) who had been making increased attempts to enter through this region, official sources said on Tuesday.
Giving details of the incursion bid, the sources said that nine PLA soldiers first reached the border area at 7 a.m. on March 16, 2014 and were stopped by the troopers which was followed by the customary banner drill.
However, in no time 10 more PLA personnel arrived on the scene riding horses and joined their colleagues to make attempts to move ahead into the Indian administered territory.
Chinese troops made repeated assertions that it was their territory and they were headed towards to Tible area, 5 km deep into the Indian administered territory, the sources said.
Explaining their action, the troops told the Indian troopers that they were ordered by the PLA headquarters to conduct a reconnaissance in Tible area, the agencies added.
However, more Indian troops joined in and Chinese troops made a retreat by 9 a.m. the same day, the sources said.
