China’s response comes after two days of the reports of the five boys going missing from Nacho, Upper Subansiri in Arunachal Pradesh.

On Saturday, Congress MLA Ninong Ering said that China's PLA (People's Liberation Army) has abducted 5 boys from Nacho, Upper Subansiri in Arunachal Pradesh. He said “this has happened at a time when Rajanath Singh is meeting defence ministers of Russia & China. PLA's action has sent a very wrong message.”

As per posts on social media, the names of the five abducted boys are: Tanu Bakar, Prasat Ringling, Ngaru Diri, Dongtu Ebiya & Toch Singkam.

Meanwhile, a fresh round of action broke out between the Indian and Chinese troops along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh on Monday night. Army has said that forces of both the sides are in process of communication over disengagement near the Rezang La heights.

"Armies of India and China continue to communicate with each other even as Chinese troops are in a face-off position with Indian troops near the Rezang La heights," Army officials were quoted as saying by agencies.
