KOLKATA, Dec 16: Eastern Army Commander Lieutenant General R P Kalita today said there has been no fresh issue with regard to infrastructure development at Doklam in the Sikkim sector, which was witness to a 73-day standoff between the armies of India and China in 2017.
He said that if any such issue arises, it is resolved at the local level itself.
“There has been no fresh development as far as Doklam is concerned with regard to infrastructure development,” General Officer Commanding-in-Chief (GOC-in-C), Eastern Command, Lt General Kalita said.
The Doklam standoff was primarily a result of a PLA (China’s People’s Liberation Army) attempt at trying to construct a road in the area about which there are differing perceptions which led to 73 days of standoff and thereafter through negotiations the issue was resolved, he told reporters at the Eastern Army Command headquarters here.(PTI)
