PLA stops canal work in Ladakh's Demchok, but Army says no incursion
NEW DELHI: Even as ties with Pakistan remain tense, Indian and Chinese troops have been in a stand-off since Wednesday in Ladakh's Demchok area — a region bordering Tibet and site of previous Chinese incursions — over construction of an irrigation canal.
China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) troops are understood to have entered an area near the Line of Actual Control (LAC) and stopped the construction work. Government sources say the local administration is constructing an irrigation canal under the rural employment guarantee scheme to link a village with a 'hot spring' in Demchok, 250km east of Leh.
A senior Army officer, however, said there was "no Chinese incursion across LAC. The issues relating to construction projects on both sides of LAC are being resolved in border personnel meetings and flag meetings".
The fresh tensions in Demchok also come in the wake of the Indian government's decision to allow the Dalai Lama to travel to Tawang+ in Arunachal Pradesh despite China's strong reservations about the Buddhist leader. Tawang is also the site of a monastery that is of special significance to Tibetan Buddhists while China claims all of Arunachal as "South Tibet".
Officials said around 55 Chinese troops arrived at the scene and called a halt to the work in an aggressive manner, prompting the Indian Army and the nearby Indo-Tibetan Border Police+ (ITBP) personnel to rush to the spot and respond to the high-handedness of Chinese troops. Demchok is at an altitude of around 11,500 feet and marks the entry of Indus into India from Tibet.
This report is from times india and in the top comments some indian says "india should intrude into china"
Don't worry man they will be back AGAINMadam think tank, do some reading and digging. The chinese have backed out and the canal work has been completed.

“The Indian army and the administration took a firm stand and resisted the PLA’s move of stalling the developmental work... It is our territory and basic amenities have to be provided to the villagers. The work is going on unhindered. The issue stands resolved and there is no face-off,” the source said.
The construction is being done under the Border Area Development Project.
“There is an understanding between the two countries that no big works, especially with regards to improving defences, shall be taken up on either side of the Line of Actual Control, but minor works aimed at ameliorating socio-economic condition of villagers could be taken up,” the source said, adding that the government has been focusing on developmental projects in border areas off late.
A defence source also confirmed the resolution of the matter, and said the 50 PLA troopers, who had been protesting at the site on Wednesday, retreated by Thursday morning.
“The hot spring and the channel being constructed by us fall within Indian territory, but the area is close to the LAC,” said an official, adding, “The PLA is in the habit of raising objections to every development work being carried out for villagers.”
Chinese troops had earlier protested against the channel construction on two occasions -- on March 26 and April 14 -- resulting in the work being temporarily suspended.
These frequent objections have led to locals in Demchok demanding resettlement while the Indian government attempts to improve amenities in the area.
NOT THE FIRST TIME
There have been several instances of stand offs between Indian and Chinese troops in the past decade.
- April 14 and March 26, 2016: Construction of water channel in Demchok area suspended after Chinese troops object to it
- March 16: Indian Army asks Leh administration to stop road construction in Chumar area along the Line of Actual Control following objections from Chinese army
- June 2015: The Indo-Tibetan Border Police — first line of defence along LAC — seeks deployment of additional 6,000 personnel, apparently to check transgressions by Chinese army
- August 2011: Chinese troops enter Indian territory, destroy several unused bunkers in Chumar area of Leh
3 day old article is more relevant than 1971Why would you NOT provide link to 3 days old article ?
LOL Thats a topic for another time. Currently you can catch up on your research
sit in protests are better than indians protesting on PDFInteresting the Chinese troops doing "sit-in protests"
Wonder how this will go with CCP, hope the soldiers remain safe
According to my research indians boast online about being untouchable but then we see headlines like these "aggressive Chinese incursions in Arunachal Pradesh,Chinese troops at ladakh" over and over again.
