Chinese helicopters entered 12 km inside the Himachal border
An obvious question arises, why did the defence mechanism and anti-aircraft guns not act ?
Why does the Indian Government tolerate constant skirmishes and infiltrations ? Why does it not issue a stern warning to China ? This inaction encourages China to continue such acts. Patriotic Indians expect the Government to issue a warning in such a language that China will respect and heed to.
Simla (Himachal Pradesh) – Chinese helicopters entered Indian space, crossing the LOC in Lahaul Spiti District of Himachal Pradesh. It was reported that the incident took place this week. Chinese helicopter was 12 km inside the Indian border and returned after some time. In the first week of May, a similar incident took place in Ladakh. Indian Air Force fighter jets took off immediately to counter the intrusion.
Kaurik is the last Indian village on the border. Chinese military action was witnessed here in the past. The villagers reported that at the time of Doklam incident, Chinese military started construction work here, and their helicopters were sighted often.
China has staked a claim on some part of Ladakh, Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand. China asserts a claim on village Shipki La in Kinnor and Kaurik in Lahaul Spiti region. ITBP and the Indian military are deployed there.
