China dares: Blocks India's entry to NSG, shuts Nathula pass, accuses of border incursion
The tension in Sikkim sector of the India-China border are high, as it was earlier reported that Chinese troops crossed the border and jostled with Indian army personnel, destroying two bunkers.
The Chinese army accused the Indian military of provoking tension along the Line of Actual Control in Sikkim, where the two sides were reportedly involved in a tense confrontation earlier this month.
Indian and Chinese troops scuffled near the Doka La area in the first week of June, PTI reported earlier in the day quoting unnamed sources, before soldiers from Peoples Liberation Army (PLA) damaged bunkers on the Indian side.
The stand-off in Sikkim comes at a time when Prime Minister Narendra Modi is in Washington and is expected to negotiate a deal to buy American surveillance drones and reinvigorate strategic ties, moves that could rile Beijing.
China also closed Nathu La pass in Sikkim and denied entry to Kailash Mansarovar pilgrims in Tibet. The move comes after a skirmish between the armed forces on the border over "security reasons."
While the Indian side has said that the Chinese troops intruded into the Indian border in Sikkim and destroyed bunkers, the People's Liberation Army accused India of creating issues by halting a road construction in the area.
'India is preventing us from constructing road'
China has also accussed Indian troops of preventing it from constructing a road in the Sikkim section of the India-China border, said reports. China said that the Indian side has no right to interfere in the construction of road in its 'own territory'.
Chinese defence ministry has reportedly stated that the Indian troops crossed the Line of Actual Control (LAC) and prevented the construction of a road in DongLang region. It said that such a move by India could "seriously damaged" border peace and tranquillity.
It is unclear as to whether the prevention of road construction led Chinese troops to carry out such an act. The Chinese Army has, however, accused the Indian side of provoking their troops by interferring in construction activity.
