They have not transgressed anywhere on our perception of the LAC,\u201d Gen. Rawat told reporters on November 12. He referred to the LAC, or \u201cLine of Actual Control,\u201d which is New Delhi\u2019s official name for the unmarked India-China border in the Himalayas.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThe present controversy that has erupted \u2014 that the Chinese have come across into our territory and built a new village \u2014 is not true,\u201d Gen.
