Quoting: Chinese troops twice crossed over the border into a remote area of the western Himalayas, with some unfurling a banner that read “this is Chinese territory, go back”, an official said on condition of anonymity. Indian border police noticed the troops on Sunday in an unpopulated area of Ladakh during a patrol of the informal border that separates India and China. “It was a temporary peaceful face-off with PLA well inside Indian territory,” the official told AFP referring to Chinas Peoples Liberation Army. He said troops returned to Indias Burtse area in Ladakh on Monday displaying a banner “understood to be saying this is Chinese territory, go back.“ Indian army spokesman Colonel S D Goswami declined to confirm if any such incidents had taken place. But the incursions were confirmed by several official sources. -EJ dawn/news/1126342
