China Blocks Indian Patrols at Arunachal Border

China has officially denied Indian troops access to several strategic patrol points in Arunachal Pradesh, a move that has heightened concerns over the ongoing border dispute. The denial was announced by a senior Chinese military spokesperson, who cited security concerns and the need to maintain stability in the region. Indian officials have responded by calling the action a violation of the 1962 ceasefire line and have urged the Chinese government to allow joint patrols to reduce the risk of accidental clashes.
