China keeps mum on Galwan river dam

NEW DELHI: China on Thursday remained evasive about the number of casualties suffered by it in the

Galwan valley clash

and also on the role of its troops.

It didn't respond to queries on reports that it was building a

dam

on the

Galwan river

on the border to obstruct its flow. Asked about allegations that Indian soldiers were brutally attacked with iron rods and spikes by

Chinese soldiers

, foreign ministry spokesman

Zhao Lijian

reiterated China's allegation, squarely blaming Indian troops for the incident. “The right and wrong of this case is very clear and responsibility doesn't lie with the Chinese side,” he said.
