Months before resumption of the defence dialogue between India and China, a patrol party of the Peoples Liberation Army attempted to cross a 200-foot wall on the Indian side of the Line of Actual Control in Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh on July 13.
The wall of loose stones was constructed 250 metres inside Indian territory in the Yangtse area of Tawang. Indian troops prevented the PLAs attempt, Defence Minister A K Antony informed the Rajya sabha on Wednesday.
The stone-wall a wind-breaker which was partially damaged by PLA, has been reconstructed, the minister said, adding that a strong protest has been lodged with the Chinese side on the actions of the PLA patrol in a flag meeting.
Due to the lack of common delineation in the Line of Actual Control between India and China, the perception of the LAC is different in different areas. Both sides patrol depending on their respective perceptions of the LAC due to the differences in corder alignment.
On Monday, Antony told the Lok Sabha about 24 violations of Indian airspace between January 2009 and November 2011 by other countries, though he did not name any foreign nation.
Earlier this month India and China held their annual defence dialogue after a hiatus in Delhi. The bilateral military meeting assumed additional significance in the wake of the sudden cancellation of boundary talks between the two neighbours, which was to discuss a new border dispute settlement mechanism.
