Indian & Chinese soldiers clash once again in Naku La area of North Sikkim

There are reports of a fresh physical brawl having taken place between Indian and Chinese troops at Naku La in North Sikkim last week, news agency ANI reported.



Reports said the clash took place three days ago last week when the troops of the People’s Liberation Army attempted to intrude inside Indian territory.

Around 20 Chinese soldiers were reportedly injured in the clash that ensued last week after the Indian troops stopped a PLA patrol team from entering the Indian territory at Naku La in Sikkim.

Few Indian Army soldiers were also injured in the clash

The Army on Monday, however, said it was “a minor face-off” that took place at Naku La on January 20, which was “resolved by local commanders as per established protocols”.

The Naku La sector, located at an altitude of 5,270-meter, was also one of the original face-off sites when PLA troops tried to intrude into Indian territory at multiple points in eastern Ladakh in early-May last year. 

Earlier in June 2020, India lost 20 soldiers during a violent clash at Galwan Valley with Chinese People's Liberation Army soldiers. Chinese never made their casualty public.

India and China are engaged in a nine-month-long standoff at the LAC. Despite several levels of talks, there has not been any breakthrough and the deadlock continues.

The clashes came just days before the ninth round of military talks between India and China, which was held on Sunday. The eighth and last round of the talks had taken place on November 6 during which both sides broadly discussed disengagement of troops from specific friction points. The ninth round of marathon Corps Commander-level talks went on for nearly 16 hours and focussed on disengagement of troops from all friction points in eastern Ladakh.

The meeting, which began on the Chinese side of the Chushul-Moldo border meeting point at 11 am on Sunday, continued till 2.30 am on Monday.
