This comes amid the disengagement process in LAC (Line of Actual Control) in eastern Ladakh by the two armies.
This came after both India and China confirmed that an agreement had been reached between two nations regarding patrolling arrangements along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in the India-China border areas.
The 18th round of India-China Corps Commander Level Meeting concluded at Chushul-Moldo border meeting point on the Chinese side on Sunday.
The locals put forth raised their demand during the visit of Union Minister of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry & Dairying, Parshottam Rupala of the villages along LoC.
''Diplomatically, we are clear with the Chinese...we won't tolerate attempts to unilaterally change LAC. If they continue to do that and build up forces which constitute serious concerns in the border areas, our relationship is not normal and that abnormality is evident in the last few years,'' the External Affairs Minister said in an obvious reference to the ongoing India-China military stand-off at eastern Ladakh.
Around 200 troops of China's People's Liberation Army entered into Indian territory last week leading to the face-off between the two sides. The troops disengaged after the talks between the two local commanders as per existing protocols.
Referring to the deadly clash between Indian and Chinese troops at the Galwan Valley on 15 June last year, Chinese Ambassador to India Sun Weidong admitted that every time such an incident occurred, the bilateral relationship was pushed back by years.
At his annual press meet, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Sunday said that the right and wrongs of what happened in the border area last year are clear, so are the stakes involved.
