Pema Khandu treks to outposts, including Yangtse where Chinese soldiers had reportedly infiltrated a few days ago
Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu and top State officials visited the troops along India’s border with Tibet, including Yangtse, where Chinese troops reportedly infiltrated a few days ago.
A Government spokesperson said the Chief Minister trekked to the remote outposts in Tawang district primarily to boost the morale of the soldiers and thank them for forcing the People’s Liberation Army personnel to withdraw from Indian territory.
A face-off between Indian and Chinese soldiers was reported at the Yangtse border post recently.
The High Court of Karnataka on Friday directed the State government to file its statement of objections on an application filed by Bangalore Turf Club Ltd. (BTC), challenging the June 6 orders passed by the government in rejecting the BTC’s applications seeking permission to conduct on-course horse races and betting during the June-August season.
