Clarity on LAC could help in Uttarakhand, says India

Clarity of perception about the Line of Actual Control (LAC) could help contain avoidable situations on the Sino-Indian border, India said yesterday

New Delhi: Clarity of perception about the Line of Actual Control (LAC) could help contain avoidable situations on the Sino-Indian border, India said yesterday.

The comments came a day after it emerged that Chinese troops transgressed the border on land and by air in Chamoli district of Uttarakhand.

“From time to time, on account of differences in the perception of the LAC, situations have arisen on the ground that could have been avoided if we had a common perception of the LAC,” Minister of State for External Affairs M J Akbar said in the  Rajya Sabha. He said the government regularly takes up any transgression along the LAC with the Chinese side through established mechanisms.
