Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu on Thursday rubbished claims made on social media about reports of Chinese incursion in the state, saying activity, if any, is limited to their side of the territory.
“I read some news on social media a few days ago that there has been a Chinese intrusion and construction on the Indian territory. I took the matter very seriously and immediately asked the concerned Deputy Commissioner to look into it and send a report,” the Chief Minister told news agency ANI.

“This is all wrong news,” the CM reiterated.
