No increase in Chinese incursions: Army chief

Chennai: A day after Prime Minister Manmohan Singh accused the media of blowing the Chinese incursions issue out of proportion, Army Chief General Deepak Kapoor reiterated PM's stand on the issue saying that there has not been any increase in the Chinese incursions this year.

Speaking in Chennai, he also made comments on border infiltration and Kashmir as well.

The Army Chief's statement comes a day after the prime minister downplayed the issue of transgression by Chinese troops into India. The prime minister said, "The issue has been blown out of proportion. We see no evidence of increased aggression.
