India has secured its eastern border by moving more troops there after the recent clashes with Chinese troops in the Ladakh region near LAC. The tensions between the two nations continue to rise with fresh clashes and provocations reported last week.

“The military presence has surely increased, but as far as incursions are concerned, there are no verified reports as such,” said Ayushi Sudan, Anjaw’s chief civil servant according to Reuters. She also added that several battalions are already stationed there and there has been an increase in deployment since the Galwan clash. Other army officials said that there is no immediate cause of concern and that the arrival of troops was part of a normal rotation.

The movement of troops to the eastern district of Anjaw, in Arunachal Pradesh state, which China also claims, raises the prospect of a wider face-off though both government and military officials in India ruled out any imminent confrontation.
