China accuses India of trespassing territory in Ladakh's Galwan Valley after week-long faceoff
India TodayAs border tensions between India and China continue to simmer, China on Monday accused India of "trespassing and illegally building defence facilities" in the Galwan Valley region which lies in the contested Aksai Chin area. According to Chinese military sources quoted by the news agency, India has " built defence fortifications and obstacles to disrupt Chinese border defence troops' normal patrol activities". Last week, Indian Army chief General MM Naravane said that Indian troops were maintaining their "posture" along the border with China while infrastructure development in the frontier areas was on track. Gen Naravane said the incidents in Eastern Ladakh and North Sikkim involved aggressive behaviour by Chinese and Indian troops resulting in minor injuries to personnel from both the sides.
