Earlier in another tweet on Wednesday, Rijiju had confirmed that the boy will return to India after necessary arrangements with the Chinese army.
“Hotline exchanged on Republic Day by Indian Army with Chinese PLA. PLA responded positively indicating handing over of our national and suggested a place of release. They are likely to intimate date and time soon. Delay attributed to bad weather conditions on their side,” he tweeted.
“Chinese PLA has confirmed that young Indian from Arunachal Pradesh Shri Miram Taron will be repatriated to the Indian side. Will disclose the exact place & time later for smooth proceeding. Accordingly Indian Army has coordinated the necessary arrangements with the Chinese Side,” he added.
Allegedly, the Chinese Army had seized the 17-year-old boy from Arunachal Pradesh’s Upper Siang area on January 18.
