Amid reports and satellite imagery indicating that China has built a village near the Doklam plateau across the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Sikkim, the Government on Thursday said it keeps an eye on all developments having bearing on national security.
Giving this assurance here, External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi also said the government takes measures accordingly.
"We keep an eye on all developments having bearing on national security and take measures accordingly," he said.
Bagchi was replying to a question on new satellite images that showed construction of a Chinese village east of the Doklam plateau on the Bhutanese side.
The Indian and Chinese armies were locked in a 73-day stand-off at the Doklam tri-junction in 2017 after China tried to extend a road in the area that Bhutan claimed belonged to it.
