Soldiers from Chinese People’s Liberation Army and the Indian Army confronted each other near the Naku La sector, ahead of Muguthang, on Saturday when they came face-to-face with each other according to Indianexpress.
The face-off was “temporary and short duration” in nature and was not a stand-off, according to the sources,
Naku La, more than 5,000 metres above Mean Sea Level, is a pass in North Sikkim.
The aggression took place when both Indian and Chinese troops were on regular patrolling.
India has emphasised the significance of keeping peace and tranquillity along the border with China as an essential for “smooth” development of overall ties between the two countries.
