India did not lose any part of land to China, says Army Chief

New Delhi, Jan 14 (ANI): Army Chief General Deepak Kapoor on Thursday rubbished recent reports of India losing any part of land to China.

Addressing the media in the national capital General Kapoor said: "There is no other area as I told earlier that Indian territories have shrunk that's a wrong thing."

"As far as the number of troops are concerned, the attitude of the Chinese and our (India's) attitude is alright and there are regular border personnel meetings," General Kapoor said.

"Whenever there are any differences we have a mechanism and between India and China there is border peace and tranquillity agreement signed in 1993," General Kapoor added.

He said if any problems arise, both the countries have the ability to solve it peacefully.

"Whenever there is problem that we can discuss it between each other on the hotline or after calling a border personnel meet, a clarification be sought," General Kapoor said. (ANI)
