India counters China over Arunachal claims: Home ministry identifies 27 locations on Survey of India map — full list
The Ministry of Home Affairs in India formally identified 27 places and features in Arunachal Pradesh using their standard names on the official Indian map, a move to counter China's attempts at renaming. The Home Ministry aimed to enhance public awareness and recognition of these locations by updating them on the Survey of India map.
The identified locations include Long Ju, Maja, Bisa village, Dzo La, Riza La, Pukur La, Thag La, Jairampur, Sambho Sarovar, Bara Kundun, Chhota Kundun, Dhan Bari, Pritnagar, Teritnagar, Ramnagar Jaswant Garh, Sagar, Padma, Jyotinagar, Baisakhi, Sher-e-Thapa Memorial, Chhota Ropuk, Bara Ropuk, Shivaji Nagar, Sunpura, Kamlang Nagar, and Buddhamandir.
These cartographic updates align with recent security concerns and Chinese claims over Arunachal Pradesh, which India consistently rejects.
