New Delhi, Dec 13: A day after reports of an encounter between Indian and Chinese forces along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in the Tawang sector of Arunachal Pradesh’s Tawang district on December 9 surfaced, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh held a high-level meeting with the Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan and service chiefs on Tuesday.
According to defence officials, the defence minister was informed about the most recent conflict in Tawang between forces from both sides.
Today at noon in the Lok Sabha and at 2:00 in the Rajya Sabha, Rajnath Singh will give a statement. The fifth day of the Winter Session of Parliament is currently underway.
Several opposition leaders have filed notices about the conflict in Parliament.
According to sources, the Indian troops in Arunachal Pradesh’s Tawang sector responded appropriately to the Chinese troops on December 9 and more Chinese soldiers were hurt in the clash than Indian soldiers.
They claimed that while the Chinese had arrived well-prepared, with some 300 soldiers, they had not anticipated that the Indian side would equally be well-prepared.
They claimed that on December 9, 2022, PLA troops made touch with the LAC in the Tawang Sector of Arunachal Pradesh, which was vigorously resisted by Indian troops.
They claimed that in response to the event, the area commander for India met with his counterpart to discuss the matter in light of established procedures for reestablishing calm and harmony.
