‘We are monitoring the situation’: MEA on reports of bridge coming up in Pangong’s ‘occupied’ area

A day after reports of China building the second bridge across Pangong in eastern Ladakh, Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Arindam Bagchi on Thursday said he is aware of these reports and he was not sure if it is the second bridge or an expansion of the first one. Bagchi said that we monitor such developments and the ministry could not comment on it from a military perspective. “Implications and details can only be given by the Ministry of Defence. Will share if there is any update,” Bagchi said.
