India China Border disputes: Naku La

India China Border disputes have gone a long way now.
Indian and Chinese troops clashed at Naku La in north Sikkim last week, in what the Army termed a “minor face-off”, resulting in some minor injuries on both sides, it has been learnt.
“It is clarified that there was a minor face-off at Naku La area of north Sikkim on January 20, 2021, and the same was resolved by local commanders as per established protocols,” the Army said in a statement.
The clash occurred as the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) troops attempted to intrude into Indian territory, a defence source said.

May 9 clash

There was a clash at Naku La on the night of May 9 last, which also saw injuries on both sides.
There was a clash at Pangong Tso also at that time as the nine-month-long stand-off began at several locations across Eastern Ladakh.
The clash occurred amid high alert and heavy deployment of troops along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) on both sides since the stand-off began.
With peak winters and extremely low temperatures, the situation has been largely quiet as both sides dug in while diplomatic and military-level talks continue attempts to work out an agreement for disengagement and de-escalation.
