Troops from India and China were involved in a clash in Naku La, in northern Sikkim, which resulted in injuries to several soldiers on both sides, Army sources said. The incident happened on Saturday.
“There was an incident of confrontation between the troops and, as a result of aggressive behavior, minor injuries occurred on both sides. The troops were disconnected after dialogue and interaction at the local level, “army sources said Sunday.
Temporary and short-term fighting occurs when the boundaries are not resolved, sources said, and troops resolve those problems with each other according to established protocols.
“Such an incident occurred after a long time,” sources added.
Both countries have different perceptions of the unresolved boundary that leads to transgressions and confrontations as each party patrols their respective demands. Any of these incidents are resolved through existing mechanisms established to maintain peace and tranquility on the border.
In September 2019, a fight broke out between the patrol teams on both sides near Pangong Tso Lake in eastern Ladakh, where China owns a large part of the lake. It was resolved within a few hours after a delegation-level meeting at the Border Personnel Meeting (BPM) point in Chushul. Similarly, in August 2017 a video of a fight between the two armies in the lake appeared in which several hundred soldiers were seen throwing stones at each other.
In January 2020, Army Chief Gen. Manoj Naravane said the Army Chief said they were rebalancing advanced weapons to the northern borders. He also stated that after the Wuhan summit between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping in April 2018, differences on the border were resolved at the lowest level and “after strategic guidelines, small differences were classify locally and are not allowed to increase. “
The Wuhan summit cleared the deadlock that set in the relationship after the 73-day Doklam clash in 2017.
