The officials concerned in the district said that no formal complaint has so far been lodged with the police or the armed forces that guard strategic areas along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) between India and China.
The Congress MLA also said that a similar incident had taken place in the state few months ago and demanded a 'befitting reply' to PLA and China.
On the other hand, Indian Defence Minister Rajanth Singh and his Chinese counterpart Wei Fenghe met in the Russian capital on Friday to discuss their border dispute and agreed to de-escalate the situation through talks.
The two-hour meeting between the Indian and Chinese delegations, which started at 9.30 p.m. Indian Standard Time,saw the border disputes discussed at length.
This is the first political dialogue after the tension on the borders started.
Both the ministers are in Moscow to participate in a joint meeting of Defence Ministers of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO), Collective Security Treaty Organisation (CSTO) and Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries.
India and China are engaged in four-month-long standoff at the Line of Actual Control in eastern Ladakh.
