India, China deploy 3,000 troops in Sikkim amid stand-off
Both India and China have deployed around 3,000 troops each at the Nathu La pass in Sikkim, which connects India to China's Tibet Autonomous Region. This comes amid a stand-off between the border armies of the two nations. China had reportedly destroyed an Indian Army bunker earlier, and had also denied entry to the pilgrims going to Kailash-Mansarovar.
