India has deployed more troops along its eastern border with China as tensions continue to rise between the two countries over the long-disputed region of Doklam. But despite India’s “heightened military alert” in the area, sources told Reuters they did not expect a conflict to spark between the roughly 300 troops on either side. “The troop level along the border with China in the Sikkim and Arunachal sectors has been increased,” and the “caution level” has been raised, sources told the Press Trust of India. China has also amassed troops, tanks and artillery in the Tibet Military District, the Times of India reported. India sent troops as a show of force, angering China, which claimed India had no right to interfere and demanded a withdrawal.
