It is on the exact spot where the Guru is said to have created 108 waterfalls, that the Yangtse clash took place between the Indian Army and the Chinese PLA on the night of December 9, 2022.
As it had done in Ladakh in May 2020, the PLA tried to change the unmarked LAC in the Yangtse sector in Arunachal Pradesh.
It was the most serious border incident since the Galwan Valley clash in June 2020, notes Claude Arpi.
After the Galwan clash, PLA patrols along the LAC have increased in size, with a view of self-protection, as well as of maintaining sufficient numbers to take on the Indian Army, should the need arise.
