India-China differ on LAC

Issue No. 1 | January 01-15, 2012

The Defence Minister A.K. Antony has said in Parliament that as there was no commonly delineated line of actual control (LAC) between India and China, there are a few areas along the border where India and China have different perceptions of LAC. Both sides patrol up to their respective perceptions of LAC due to perceived differences in alignment of LAC.

On July 13, 2011, a PLA patrol attempted to cross a 200 feet wall of loose stones constructed 250 metres on the Indian side of LAC in Yangtse area of Tawang which was prevented by our troops. The stone wall was partially damaged by PLA which has been reconstructed. As per the established mechanism with China, a strong protest was lodged with the Chinese side on the action of the PLA patrol in a Flag meeting.
