The Home Minister P Chidambaram said that the Centre has called for a report from the Jammu & Kashmir Government on construction of a road in Ladakh which has reportedly been objected by China. The J&K government confirmed that work had to be stopped on a road project meant to facilitate the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS) in Demchok in south-east Leh because of objections raised by the Chinese Army. Earlier the Minister of State for Defence Pallam Raju said that the matter is being looked into by the government.The Chinese foreign ministry meanwhile refused to confirm or deny that its Army has raised objection on the construction of the road. Evading a direct reply on the issue, the Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Qin Gang said his country has a dispute with India on the border issue. He said the two sides should work together to ensure peace and stability in the border area until the pending dispute is resolved.
