India formally names 27 places in Arunachal Pradesh in counter to China
India has formally assigned names to 27 places in Arunachal Pradesh as part of efforts to counter China's contested claims over the state. The move underscores India's administrative assertion over the territory, which China disputes as part of its broader territorial claims in the region.
The naming exercise is one of several steps India has taken to strengthen its position in areas along the border with China, particularly in the northeastern frontier.
