“100 sqkm of land grab &illegal incursion and setting 4 new villages by #China in #Bhutan, next to Doklam is a blow to India’s National Security,” he said. Surjewala alleged that this happened between May-Nov 2021.

“Disputed land between #Bhutan &#China near Doklam shows construction activity between 2020-21, multiple new villages spread through an area roughly 100 sqkm now dot the landscape, is this part of a new agreement or enforcement of #China’s territorial claim?”
