India Officially Names 27 Arunachal Pradesh Locations Amid China Renaming Disputes
India has officially identified and standardized 27 locations and geographical features in Arunachal Pradesh on the Survey of India maps, including villages, mountain passes, lakes, and memorials. This move, made in consultation with the Arunachal Pradesh government, aims to ensure accurate recognition and public awareness amid China's repeated attempts to rename places in the border state. India rejects these Chinese naming efforts, asserting Arunachal Pradesh as an integral part of the country and reinforcing its sovereign claims along the Line of Actual Control.
