After Ladakh, Chinese incursions now reported in Uttarakhand |
Uttarakhand Chief Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal
has reportedly informed the Central Government about incursions by the
Chinese in his state. Pokhriyal, quoting reports from locals in Rimkhim in Chamoli
district, said the Chinese entered the state on September 5 and left behind biscuit
packet wrappers and cigarettes. He informed both Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh
and the Home Ministry about this development and sought their help in curbing
what he calls frequent incursions in his state. He said, "We have shared the information
with the Centre and we have demanded for more patrolling force at the Indo-China
border." About a fortnight ago the Chinese had ventured as far as the Pangong
Lake in Ladakh, Jammu and Kashmir. According to reports, Chinese military helicopters
had air dropped food packets in the region. In another provocation, Chinese troops
entered 1.5 kilometres into Indian Territory near Mount Gya -- recognised as International
border by India and China. Chinese troops painted rocks, boulders in Indian Territory
red and labeled them "China". The Chinese Government, however, has denied this
charge through its foreign ministry. Private television channel TIMES NOW quotes
the Leh Deputy Commissioner as mentioning in a letter every instance of Chinese
incursion and threats to sheperds in the region. The letter states that the Chinese
are not only disputing territory, they are actually claiming the land as their
own. China has also raised a stink over proposed visit to Tamang in Arunachal
Pradesh by Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama. |
