China Questions India’s Names for Arunachal Pradesh Locations
The latest dispute began after India announced standard names for 27 places and geographical features in Arunachal Pradesh. According to Indian officials, these names have been included in official Indian records and maps. The move is also being seen as a response to China’s repeated attempts to give its own names to different locations in Arunachal Pradesh. China rejected the names announced by India and described them as ineffective and invalid.
Differences Over the LAC Continue

India has repeatedly stated that Arunachal Pradesh is an integral part of the country and that attempts to rename places in the state cannot change the situation on the ground.
