Confrontation between soldiers from the two countries along the disputed border is not uncommon, but this is probably the first time it happened at the Naku La crossing, Indian General Vinod Bhatia said.
The general said that the fight between the soldiers of the two countries is increasing because the two sides patrol the border more because the infrastructure has been improved and the roads are more convenient.

China and India had long disagreements over the border and fought between the two countries in 1962.
