India Warns China On Arunachal

An alleged Chinese incursion in Arunachal Pradesh’s Upper Subansiri district, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has warned that the state of border affairs will reflect on the “state of larger bilateral ties” between the two countries.

Quoting residents, recent reports have claimed that Chinese troops crossed the Line of Actual Control (LAC) and entered areas near Pukar La and Ollo in the Taksing circle.

Asked about this last week, Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu denied the reports and said he would speak to the Army and local organisations to find out exactly what had happened.

Khandu said he did not think any such incursion was taking place as the Army has been effectively guarding the border and maintaining the security of Indian territory.

Responding to a question on this on Tuesday, MEA Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said maintaining peace in the area is the most important thing and gave details about discussions that have taken place on border issues.

“In matters relating to the border areas between India and China, we have always emphasised in discussions with the Chinese side that we consider these issues as most serious and that the maintenance of peace and tranquillity in these areas is of the utmost importance. We have also stated that the state of the border affairs will reflect on the state of our larger bilateral ties,” Jaiswal said. (updated on 11th August 2026)
