'There's a problem at the border': Rijiju admits delineation confusion in Arunachal

'There's a problem at the border': Rijiju admits delineation confusion in Arunachal

Union Minister Kiren Rijiju denied reports of a 60-kilometer Chinese incursion into Arunachal Pradesh on Wednesday, attributing the border issue to the lack of delineation. He acknowledged valid concerns from villagers, but warned against spreading misinformation. Rijiju emphasized that China's claims on certain land stretches are due to the undefined boundary, not actual occupation.

The minister clarified that China is merely observing the situation, while Indian villagers believe their land extends further, leading to confusion. He emphasized India's strengthened security measures along the frontier, including increased patrolling by the Army and Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP).
