India formally maps 27 locations in Arunachal Pradesh
The Indian government has officially recorded 27 locations and geographical features in Arunachal Pradesh on the Survey of India map. This initiative, carried out in consultation with the state government, aims to ensure accurate identification of these sites and increase public awareness.

What Happened
The Indian government has officially identified and recorded 27 locations and geographical features in Arunachal Pradesh on the Survey of India map. These sites include land areas, mountain passes, a lake, and memorials dedicated to Indian soldiers. The Ministry of Home Affairs stated that the process was conducted in consultation with the Arunachal Pradesh state government to facilitate accurate recognition of these locations.
This action serves as a response to China's repeated attempts to rename various places in Arunachal Pradesh using Mandarin names. India has maintained that such efforts by China are vain and do not alter the reality that the state is an integral part of India. The newly marked locations hold strategic importance due to their proximity to the Line of Actual Control, and the move is intended to clarify territorial boundaries ahead of upcoming diplomatic negotiations.
