There have been repeated border violations by Chinese patrols in north Sikkim's Kongra la area more popularly known as the finger area. There has been about a dozen violations this year, six violations in the last two months as compared to six violations last year.

The Chinese patrols are intruding into Indian territory not only in Sikkim but also in the Western Sector in Ladakh.

India has reported more aggressive patrolling and deeper intrusions into Indian territory.

    In Arunachal Pradesh, the Asaphilla area has become a new tension area as compared to five violations in the whole of last year about six violations have already been reported in the last few months
