News reports have surfaced that China has allegedly built a village on the banks of River Tsari Chu in Upper Subansiri district of Arunachal Pradesh. The village reportedly consists of 101 homes and encroaches approximately 4.5 kilometres into Indian territory. The Chinese village in Arunachal Pradesh came up around the time India and China clashed in Ladakh's Galwan Valley in June 2020.

The Indian Ministry of External Affairs said, "We have seen recent reports on China undertaking construction work along the border areas with India. China has undertaken such infrastructure construction activity in the past several years." 

The MEA has said that the Indian government is keeping a constant watch to keep India safe and added that in response India has increased infrastructure work in border areas including the construction of roads, bridges etc, "which has provided much-needed connectivity to the local population along the border and helped improve their lives". 

Army Chief Gen MM Naravane said no one should make any mistake of testing India's patience and that the Indian Army will not allow any harm to the country's sovereignty and security.
