As the intruding Chinese soldiers refuse to budge from their occupied position in Daulat Beg Oldi sector in Ladakh, two Chinese military helicopters had violated Indian airspace at Chumar, several hundred kms southeast of Leh, adding to the prevailing tension.

The choppers entered the Indian airspace on April 21 and hovered over the area for sometime and returned after dropping food cans, cigarette packets and notes written in their local language, official sources said on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, India is planning to raise around 1,500 more airborne troops for deployment in the Northeast along the China border.
