ITBP Chief Confirms Ongoing India-China Face-Offs in Arunachal Pradesh; Political Reactions Emerge
Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) Director General Shatrujeet Kapur confirmed ongoing face-offs with Chinese troops at multiple locations along the Arunachal Pradesh border since July. The ITBP's newly raised Shaurya commandos have been praised for their role in these confrontations. While diplomatic talks have occurred, tensions persist. Opposition leaders, including Congress figures Jairam Ramesh and Mallikarjun Kharge, criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government for its perceived silence and concessions to China, citing concerns over national security and a growing trade deficit. The BJP described the border as dynamic, dismissing claims of conflict escalation. The ITBP is enhancing capabilities with drone units, underground shelters, and specialized training to address evolving threats.
