The Chamoli district administration has now sent a 16-member team to the Barahoti area along the Indo-Tibet border where Chinese troops had intruded and burned the tents of local shepherds earlier this month.
It will be recalled that earlier on July 15, the Chinese troop had intruded into the Indian side at the Barahoti sector in the district and burned the tents of some Indian shepherds. According to sources, the district administration has now sent a team to this area even though officials are stating that the administration sends its team to the area every year to monitor activities in the border area. However, according to sources, the district administration has sent a team to Barahoti to ascertain the facts related to the Chinese incursion.
