No major incursions by Chinese forces: Army Chief
New Delhi: There have been no “major transgressions” by Chinese troops into Indian territory, Army Chief Gen. Deepak Kapoor said on Saturday as he played down regular minor incursions as being a result of difference of perceptions about the border between the two countries.
In his first formal interaction with the media after taking over as Chief of the Army Staff on October 1, Gen. Kapoor said a bonhomie existed between the troops of the two countries and would be having first-ever joint exercises in December in Chengdu in Yunnan province.
“The transgressions are inadvertent and happen when border patrols move by their maps and boundary perceptions,” he said four days after ITBP Director General V.K. Joshi said 140 incidents of incursions had been witnessed this year. “This is not a new phenomenon. Minor transgressions have been there since the boundary dispute has been there.”
He said for the past four to five years, the incursions have been more or less of the same levels. — PTI
