Raise issue with China if road construction on Indian side: Omar

Ganderbal: Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today said India should take up with Beijing if China has done any road construction on the Indian side of Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Ladakh region.

"We don`t have any objection when they (Chinese) build roads on their side of LAC. If they do it on our side of the Line, then, obviously, Defence Ministry and External Affairs Ministry will have to take up the issue with China," he told reporters on the sidelines of a function here, 25 kms from Srinagar. Omar, however, said he does not have any report from the local administration of Ladakh region that would suggest that the Chinese have constructed a road inside the Indian territory. "Till now, there is no report to me from the local administration through which I can say that China is building roads on our side," he said. PTI
