"tawang"

Rajnath Singh on Tuesday celebrated Dussehra with Army soldiers at a forward base in Arunachal Pradesh's Tawang.

The earthquake struck at 6:56 am and was recorded by the NCS at a depth of 5 kilometers.

This statement came in the backdrop of the December 9 faceoff between the Indian and Chinese soldiers in Arunachal Pradesh's Tawang sector.

The China-India border clash this time must be seen in the current geopolitical and strategic context.

The December 9 intrusion near Yangtse in Tawang sector has raised the diplomatic temperature ahead of the next round of talks to defuse the military standoff in Ladakh.

US State Department spokesperson Ned Price told reporters at the daily briefing that the US is in "close contact" with its Indian "partners".

The people said a number of Chinese drones flew close to the LAC prompting the IAF to scramble the jets and increase the overall combat readiness.
