The official said there was a 20-25% increase in transgressions by the Chinese PLA till May this year, particularly in Ladakh and Arunachal Pradesh. First, Indian troops have improved their observation of the presence of Chinese patrols in disputed areas. Second, the Chinese have stepped up border patrols as part of an aggressive posture along the border. The stand-off between the Indian army and the Chinese PLA at Doklam on the China-Sikkim-Bhutan tri-junction near Nathu La has now continued for over 20 days. Along the Ladakh border, India sticks mostly to a boundary drawn by British civil servant W.H.
