India has officially standardised 27 locations in Arunachal Pradesh to counter China’s disputed map claims, reinforcing its territorial integrity.
In recent weeks, China has released updated maps that place several areas of Arunachal Pradesh under its administrative control, sparking diplomatic tension.
Responding to the move, the Indian government has formally standardised 27 key locations within the state, assigning them official names and coordinates that align with the country's administrative records.
The standardisation is part of a broader effort to reinforce India's claim over the disputed territory and to provide clear reference points for border management and security operations.
Officials say the action will be communicated to the United Nations and other international bodies, and will be used to support India's position in any future negotiations.
