MINISTER OF DEFENCE(SHRI A.K. ANTONY)
(a) & (b): There is no commonly delineated Line of Actual Control (LAC) between the two countries. The Indian security forces continue to patrol upto all areas that fall within the Indian perception of the Line of Actual Control. Incidents of transgressions in various areas including Ladakh and Arunachal Pradesh arise primarily due to differences in the perception of LAC.
(c) & (d): Military capacity enhancement and modernization of armed forces is a dynamic process. To secure the desired national security objectives along the Northern borders, appropriate deployment on the border is ensured. |
