New Delhi: With China repeatedly renaming some places in Arunachal Pradesh, India on Friday formally identified 27 places and features in the state by their standard names on the official Indian map.
“Identifying them formally on the Survey of India map of Arunachal Pradesh is aimed at facilitating their accurate recognition and better awareness among the public at large,” an official statement said.
The 27 locations formally marked on the official map of India include Long Ju located along the Line of Actual Control which was one of the earliest flashpoints between India and China in 1959 when Chinese forces entered the area.
The Chinese Civil Affairs Ministry had released the first list of the standardised names of six places in Zangnan in 2017, while the second list of 15 places was issued in 2021, followed by another list with names for 11 places in 2023.
Zangnan is the Chinese name for Arunachal Pradesh.
