Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu has  said his government will verify reports of alleged Chinese incursion in the Taksing sector of Upper Subansiri district with the Indian Army and locals before drawing any conclusion.

The CM asserted that he does not believe such reports without factual confirmation.

“I have invited members of the Nah Welfare Society (NWS) and will personally verify the matter. I will also speak to the Indian Army and verify the same,” Khandu told reporters on the sidelines of an event as reporrted by PTI.

Expressing confidence in the Army’s deployment along the frontier, the chief minister said the force is effectively carrying out its responsibility of guarding the country’s borders.

The government would ascertain the facts before commenting further, he added.

The chief minister’s remarks came amid allegations by NWS, a local body, that personnel of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) had entered areas near Yaja and Togo villages in Taksing circle close to the Line of Actual Control (LAC).

NWS chairman Keru Chader claimed the Chinese troops had reached locations “almost at our doorstep” and alleged that they had moved to within 15-16 km of the villages through the Ollo stream.

There was no official confirmation about any fresh Chinese incursion in the sector from either the Indian Army or the Centre.

The latest allegations are part of a series of claims made by the Nah Welfare Society since June this year.
