Notably, this place is just 9 kilometres from the place in Doklam on which India and China had a dispute in the year 2017. However, Bhutan has denied the reports of any Chinese village inside its territory. Bhutan's envoy to India, Maj Gen Vetsop Namgyel in response to a WION question said,"There is no Chinese village inside Bhutan." The area of Doklam is on the tri-junction of India, China and Bhutan and China could have become a huge challenge for India by building a road here. Similarly, many areas of Nepal are occupied by China and it is asserting its claim on many parts of Bhutan as well.
