India has moved troops to its Eastern stretch of border with China. The sources said the meeting on August 31 and September 1 did not produce any concrete outcome, so there is another meeting scheduled to hold on September 2. Ayushi Sudan, Anjaw's chief civil servant, said an increase in the military and several Indian army battalions were stationed in Arunachal Pradesh. Indian military spokesman, Lieutenant Colonel Harsh Wardhan Pande, said there was no cause for concern and the troops arriving in the area were part of a regular rotation.
