Srinagar, Aug 13: Will raise issue with govt: Chief Exec Councillor, LAHDC
India and China have been locked in a standoff over the Doklam plateau
India blames China for trying to move the tri-junction point to the south
Even as the Doklam standoff cotinues, China has begun building a bridge in No Man’s Land, near the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Ladakh.
Security agencies have been tight-lipped on the Chinese agression.
Dr Sonal Dawa Lopo, Chief Executive Councillor of the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council, told India Today that the issue will be raised with the government. The Narendra Modi administration should immediately object to the construction of the bridge, he said.
DOKLAM STANDOFF
The Doklam standoff began in mid-June after Indian troops stopped the Chinese Army from building a road in the Doklam area, which is near the Sikkim section of the India-China border.
India blamed China for trying to alter the status quo and attempting to move the India-China-Bhutan tri-junction point to the south.
Beijing, on the other hand, has slammed New Delhi for what it says is Indian troops transgressing into Chinese territory.
