China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) intruded this month into Sikkim’s Doka La sector near the tri-junction with Bhutan and Tibet. Sketchy media reports suggest ‘jostling’ but no firing and PLA soldiers ‘destroying’ two bunkers before they were stopped.

Though the incursion was in early June, media reports quoted ‘sources’ (not specifying if they were military or civilian officials or just political sources) as the story was put out in late June.

It talked of Indian soldiers stopping the PLA by 'forming a human chain'. So are we talking of a normal border confrontation, a tense face-off, or an India-China kabbadi match in the high Himalayas!
