"In the past few days, a situation arose where face-offs happened at several locations in Arunachal and it still continues," Kapur said, as quoted by NDTV and reported by Northeast Herald. Kapur, who is scheduled to retire on October 31, was addressing personnel at the ITBP's Central Training College in Alwar, Rajasthan.

Reports have pointed to a stand-off in the Asaphila area near Taksing in Upper Subansiri district, as well as face-to-face encounters during routine patrolling near Maja. The ITBP chief praised the force's newly raised Shaurya commandos, saying they had demonstrated their capabilities during the confrontations.

Kapur said the force is strengthening combat preparedness with drone platoons in border units, underground shelters at forward locations and a new 'Strike' training course modelled on lessons from the 2020 Galwan Valley clash, with the entire force expected to complete the training by the end of 2027.

The remarks follow a Corps Commander-level meeting between Indian and Chinese military officials on September 6 at the Wacha-Damai Border Personnel Meeting Point in Arunachal Pradesh. Both sides have continued diplomatic and military engagement to address border issues and maintain peace along the LAC.
