Chinese troops entered Uttarakhand violating border pact


New Delhi, Jul 27 (PTI) : Chinese troops recently violated the border in Chamoli district of Uttarakhand area and were seen camping along with arms despite the two nations having agreed to keep it a demilitarised area.

The incident took place on July 19 when a team led by Chamoli District Magistrate and others including officials from ITBP went for a survey of Barahoti ground, official sources said.

The sources said that the civilian team was sent back by Chinese People's Liberation Army troops, who claimed it to be their land.

The 80 square kilometre ground has been agreed by the two countries to be a disputed part since 1957 and was to be sorted out at the negotiating table by the two sides.

Over the past few years, Chinese troops have been spotted in the area and even air violations have taken place in this area, the sources said.

Chinese side had sent in a delegation on April 19, 1958 for negotiations with their Indian counterparts and both sides had agreed not to send troops into the area but had avoided a discussion on final settlement of the Barahoti ground.

The sources said that ever since this agreement, ITBP, which mans the 3,488-km Sino-Indian border from Ladakh in Jammu and Kashmir to Arunachal Pradesh in Northeast, had never entered the area with arms.

However, shepherds from both sides were allowed to enter the ground.

The Chinese troops have since the reported incursion returned even as apprehensions persisted that they may be taking undue advantage of the agreement of 1958 by pushing in their soldiers into the area which they recognise as 'Wu-Je'.

While Uttarakhand Chief Minister Harisgh Harish termed the development as "something to worry about" hoping that Centre will pay heed to his request for increased vigil, Union Minister of State for Home Kiren Rijiju said ITBP had been asked to look into the matter.

    They are working double hard to wipe off all the opposition parties, Dalits and the minorities. Mr. Modi has another extra vacation plan in between through his foreign visits. The Foreign Minister is semi-retired and talking nothing recently.

    In a volte face, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Harish Rawat on Wednesday made a U-turn saying there is an increase in the number of Chinese troops along the Indian border, but ruled out any incursion into Indian territory.

    after election's Pak not only enters in Kashmir, their terrorists even entered easily to our air bases "Phathnkot".
    And our P.M and his Bhakths are behind attacking Dalit's,Minorities and Beef-Ban and all other nonsense activities.

    Modi's diplomacy and tactics do not work with Chinese people including PAK. They are in camouflage
    Still it is better to contain the situation with whatever means are there on negotiating table. We are faced by enemies in the east and west and we need to do our best not going aggravating the present situation.

    And you are saying BJPeee was knowing that Militants would enter Pathankot air base a so called high security area where even a pigeon cant enter!?. Is it because BJPees wanted to feed biriyani that they allowed them to enter air base!?. You people are busy in beef, conversion, gar wapsi, thrashing dalits, abusing minorities, molesting and rape on women etc!!!!. BJPeees dont know how to tackle international relations because they are best suited for local goondagiri!

    Very correct. If Mr. Modi is ruling India, China will not dare to cross the border. Since Mr. Modi took power, as promised, he could shift a lot of Chines factories to India to transform India as the manufacturing base of the world, but the factories went to Viet-Nam, Cambodia, Thailand,Sri-Lanka, Bengaladesh etc. That lost business has seriously offended China.
