dated August 25, 1956: Indo-Tibetan border

The border between India and Tibet "is well defined and well understood and clearly shown on our maps," said Mr. Sadath Ali Khan, Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister, in reply to Mr. Bhakt Darshan in the Lok Sabha on August 23. He said, "Naturally, the whole of it cannot be demarcated on the spot owing to high altitudes and perennial snow and lack of communications and other facilities. Steps have been taken to set up check-posts right up to the border and extend the benefits of administration to the people in the border regions."
