According to the spokesperson of the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), Government of India, China has hindered or made it difficult for the Indian Border Security Forces to follow the usual patrolling patterns at the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in the India-China border area. The official also made it clear that, India's activities are entirely on the Indian side of the LAC and the country has always taken a very responsible approach towards border management.
Indian troops are fully familiar with the alignment of the Line of Actual Control in the India-China border areas and abide by it scrupulously. It was the Chinese side that recently undertook activity hindering India's normal patrolling patterns. The Indian troops strictly follow the procedures laid down in various bilateral agreements and protocols to resolve any situations which may arise due to difference in perception of LAC. The two sides have established mechanisms to resolve such situations peacefully through dialogue. Both sides remain engaged with each other to address any immediate issues, said Anurag Srivastava, MEA spokesperson.
