India-China border scuffle injured troops on both sides: Indian defence minister

NEW DELHI, 14 December 2022, (TON): Indian troops prevented their Chinese counterparts from entering Indian territory on Dec 9 during a border scuffle that led to injuries on both sides, Indian defence minister Rajnath Singh told parliament, as Beijing assured the situation was “stable” in the border region and called on New Delhi to “together uphold peace”.

The statements come after a clash between the two sides in the Tawang sector of India’s northeastern Himalayan state of Arunachal Pradesh, which borders China’s south and is also claimed by Beijing.

Singh said “Indian troops suffered no fatality or serious injuries in the incident.”
