In response to media reports on situation in Doklam purported to be made by a US Official, the Official Spokesperson said:
"The press reports attributing remarks on Doklam to a US official is incorrect. The reference to Doklam was made by Congresswoman Anne Wagner in the form of a question posed to the senior State Department Official Alice G. Wells. Ms Wells, in her reply, made
no reference to the situation in Doklam and said that India is vigorously defending its northern borders and this is a subject of concern to India. I would reiterate that since the disengagement of Indian and Chinese border personnel in the Doklam area on
28 August 2017, there have been no new developments at the face-off site and its vicinity. The status quo prevails in this area."
