Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal stated that the status of the region is an indisputable reality that cannot be altered by external claims or renaming initiatives.
China has frequently asserted territorial claims over parts of Arunachal Pradesh and has attempted to impose Chinese names on various locations within the state. India has consistently rejected these actions as invalid. Separately, Indian Army sources addressed recent media reports regarding alleged Chinese incursions into the Upper Subansiri district, stating that such claims are false and that the military and the Indo-Tibetan Border Police continue to monitor the border region.
