Arunachal CM Pema Khandu Says Border Transgressions Are Not New Intrusions

Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister <b>Pema Khandu</b> has dismissed concerns over recent border activity, labeling them as routine <b>transgressions</b> rather than full-scale intrusions. Speaking on the volatile <b>India-China frontier</b>, Khandu emphasized that China’s refusal to recognize the McMahon Line makes these incidents a long-standing reality of the region. The administrative narrative remains focused on maintaining calm, with officials suggesting that media reports often amplify these border skirmishes. While the government insists the border is secure, the recurring nature of these 'transgressions' highlights the persistent, unresolved friction between the two nuclear-armed neighbors. For residents in border areas, this official reassurance is a necessary attempt to curb panic, though the reality of living near a contested boundary remains a complex, daily challenge.
