CHINA-INCURSION 2

While Army tried to downplay this development, they,
however acknowledged that some digging activity had been
noticed. "There has been no report of concrete huts being
built across Karakoram Pass. However, some digging has been
noticed well inside Chinese territory," an Army spokesman said
in a written reply to PTI.

In a related development, the report of Jammu and Kashmir
government highlights the Chinese incursions into various
parts of Ladakh.

"They (Chinese) have threatened the nomadic people who
had been using Dokbug area (in Ladakh sector) area for grazing
since decades long, in a way to snatch our land in inches. A
Chinese proverb is famous in the world – better do in inches
than in yards," the report filed by a former Sub Divisional
Magistrate (Nyoma) Tsering Norboo said.

Norboo had been deputed by the state government to probe
incursion of Chinese Army in Dokbug area and threatening the
local shepherds to leave the land as it belonged to them. The
area has been used by the shepherds to graze their livestock
as the area is warmer compared to other parts of Ladakh.

The SDM pointed out that it was another attempt by
Chinese to claim the territory as disputed in the same fashion
as they had taken Nag Tsang area opposite to Phuktse airfield
in 1984, Nakung in 1991 and Lungma-Serding in 1992. MORE PTI
