Source: IRNAIndia Thursday said Chinese patrols do 'stray' across to the Indian side but downplayed such incidents holding that its boundary with China is one of the 'most peaceful and tranquil.'
'We have a very long boundary with China. The Line of Actual Control (LAC) with China has not yet been delineated and, therefore, since the Line has not been delineated, there are differences in perception which is very natural and I said it is a long border.'
'So from time to time, the patrols do stray across. This is not new. This does happen. But when it happens, they revert to their areas,' official spokesperson in External Affairs Ministry Vishnu Prakash said, pti reported. He was responding to questions on reports of recent incursions by Chinese patrols along the LAC.
'I would like to highlight that India-China boundary is one of the most peaceful, one of the most tranquil boundaries that we have,' he said.
Prakash said India and China have a 'very good mechanism' and if there is any issue pertaining to such incursions, they are 'immediately taken up and amicably resolved'.
