HONG KONG, Jan 30 (SCMP): India’s President Ram Nath Kovind said the country had deployed additional forces to its disputed Himalayan border with China, as tensions over a months-long border stand-off continue to flare despite multiple rounds of talks.

Kovind told a joint session of parliament on Friday that the government had strengthened its military presence at Line of Actual Control (LAC) along the countries’ shared 3,488km (2,167-mile) border to protect the country’s sovereignty.
