Close on the heels of reports of incursion by Chinese forces in Uttarakhand, Indian soldiers reportedly engaged in a tense standoff with PLA troops who transgressed in Arunachal Pradesh last week across the Line of Actual Control or LAC.
A report by NDTV, quoting sources, said that the physical engagement of Indian and Chinese soldiers likely lasted for a few hours before soldiers of both sides disengaged.
"There is a difference in perception of the Line of Actual Control in this area, and both sides undertake patrolling activities upto their line of perception," report said quoting sources.
There was no damage to Indian defences in the sector.
This is an area where Chinese incursions have been reported several times in the past.
On August 30, close to 100 Chinese soldiers transgressed 5 km across LAC in Barahoti region and returned after a few hours from the area guarded by the Indo-Tibetan Border Police, news agency PTI reported.
