China face-offs 'ongoing' along Arunachal Pradesh border, says ITBP Chief Shatrujeet Singh Kapoor
The ITBP says recent encounters have continued at several points along the disputed border, while the foreign ministry blames Chinese patrol deviations.
- On Thursday, October 22, 2026, Indo-Tibetan Border Police Director General Shatrujeet Kapur confirmed that face-offs between Indian and Chinese forces occurred at several locations in Arunachal Pradesh and remain ongoing.
- Reports of these confrontations first emerged in July 2026, while Corps Commander-level talks held at Wacha-Damai on September 6, 2026, failed to resolve the ongoing border stand-offs between the two nations.
- The ITBP is raising drone platoons and specialized Shaurya commandos, supported by a Rs 4,000-crore modernization plan with 70% earmarked for high-altitude drone warfare capabilities to counter evolving border security challenges.
- Demanding Prime Minister Narendra Modi 'come clean', Congress leader Jairam Ramesh and Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge criticized the government's silence, citing the 2020 Galwan Valley clash as precedent.
- Reiterating the government's stance, External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal stated both sides continue using existing diplomatic and military mechanisms, emphasizing that maintaining 'peace and tranquility' remains essential for bilateral relations.
