There is a problem at the border. Some people from villages in Arunachal Pradesh have expressed concern about the border problem, and that concern is valid because the border has not been delineated,&#8221; he told news agency IANS.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"9\"\/>Rijiju said the situation should not be interpreted as China having captured an Indian village. He explained that the lack of demarcation has led to Chinese claims over certain stretches of land.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/>&#8220;So, it is not like they (China) came and captured our village. That is not the case. On certain land, they have cast an eye because there is no demarcation. Our people believe that our land extends further ahead, while the villages situated on the China side, including Tibetan and local people, claim that their land extends deep inside here. So, there is confusion,&#8221; the Union minister said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>&#8220;But telling such lies that they have entered 60 kilometres inside, and posting unrelated photos from Bangladesh and elsewhere to claim that the Chinese Army has penetrated 60 kilometres inside Arunachal, spreading such misinformation lowers the morale of our Army personnel and security forces stationed there, and creates confusion in the country. This is not right,&#8221; he added.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>He said India has strengthened security arrangements along the frontier, with the Army and the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) increasing patrolling in the area.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>His comments come amid renewed focus on the India-China border following the government&#8217;s decision to formally identify 27 locations and geographical features in Arunachal Pradesh by their standard names on official Survey of India maps.<\/p>\n<div class=\"LEzX4\">\n<div class=\"PmOGb\">\n<p class=\"PSf84\">Share your thoughts in the comments<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Insightful<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Agree<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Disagree<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Skeptical<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Concerning<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Promising<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Worth Reading<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Big Development<\/button><\/p>\n<p><textarea class=\"T9MbS\" rows=\"1\" placeholder=\"Add your Thoughts...\"\/><button type=\"button\" class=\"ZW6JD \" disabled=\"\">Post Comment<\/button><\/p>\n<p class=\"swnca\">Be respectful \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatimes.com\/termsandcondition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"gkv0P\">TOI community guidelines<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>The move followed China&#8217;s repeated attempts to assign its own names to places in Arunachal Pradesh.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>India has repeatedly stressed that Arunachal Pradesh is an inalienable part of India.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/>The ministry of external affairs has also stressed that maintaining peace and tranquillity along the Line of Actual Control is essential for the broader India-China relationship.
