Yet again the incursion by the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) in Indian territory in Kapapu area in Arunachal Pradesh has given shock wave to the Indian counterpart.

According to reports, PLA entered upto 60 kilometers inside Indian territory in Arunachal Pradesh. They entered in Kapapu area in Anjaw district for some time.

Pictures of bonfires, spray-painted rocks and Chinese food materials found at the site suggest that the incursion occurred around a week ago.

The pictures also show markings with the year, a tactic reportedly used by the Chinese military during their incursions into Indian territory to assert claims.

In August 2022, widely circulated visuals on social media showed PLA soldiers overseeing infrastructure activities near Hadigra Lake, with three excavators working at the site.

In 2020 transgression, Chinese troops entered Indian territory in Dibang Valley district. In 2019, the PLA built a wooden bridge over Doimru Nalah, around 49 kilometers inside Indian territory at Amako camp.

The last Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) camp near Hadigra Pass on the McMahon Line is located at Kapapu, while Chaglagam, the nearest administrative circle in Anjaw district, is about 90 kilometers from the McMahon Line.
