NEW DELHI, September 12: Rival troops of China and India had a prolonged confrontation on Wednesday in the disputed region of eastern Ladakh between the two countries, Time of India reported.
According to the sources of TOI, the face-off between Indian and Chinese soldiers began on the northern bank of the 134-km-long
Pangong lake soon after dawn on Wednesday.
“Indian soldiers were on a patrol when they were confronted by People’s Liberation Army soldiers, who strongly objected to their presence in the area. This led to a scuffle between the rival soldiers,” a source told TOI.
The border escalation between China and India surfaced at a time when the tensions are already heightened between Islamabad and New Dehli over the abrogation of the special status of occupied Kashmir.
On Wednesday, Pakistan´s foreign minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi warned that the situation in Indian-occupied Kashmir risks sparking an “accidental war” between the two neighbouring countries. Agencies
