India's decision to name 27 places in Arunachal Pradesh is seen as a counter to China's attempts at repeatedly renaming locations in the region. The list includes Longju, a border village under Chinese control since 1959; Jaswant Garh; Kamlang Nagar; Sunpura; and Pritnagar. An official said this move clears up confusion over maps and strengthens India's claim over these territories.
