Leh (NVI): A purported video that has gone viral shows two Chinese vehicles, apparently carrying PLA soldiers in plain clothes, crossing the International Border with India and entering Changthang area of Nyoma block in Leh district.
The video has surfaced amidst the military stand-off between India and China along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Ladakh.
Ishey Spalzang, who represents the Nyoma constituency in the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council, said the incident reportedly occurred four-five days back. He said the Chinese raised objections to the local nomads allowing their livestock to graze in the area.
He said that due to the current standoff, nomads in the region are suffering immensely as they are unable to graze their livestock in these areas. “We can’t say whether the men in vehicles were soldiers or civilians but yes, they were Chinese who returned back after locals confronted them,” he said.
However, an official declined to comment on the issue saying he is not aware of the incident.
