New Delhi, Mar 31: Right across the LAC (line of actual control) in Arunachal Pradesh, a cluster of fresh Chinese infrastructure has been observed. The cluster includes a new camp for People's Liberation Army (PLA) along with several houses.

The new constructions have come up in Tatu, which lies on the other side of Kibithu town in Arunachal Pradesh's Anjaw district. Kibithu is one of the five Border Personnel Meeting points between the Indian Army and China's PLA.

The heightened activities by China along the border is being witnessed as a fresh dare to India.

A Chinese telecommunications tower and observation post with surveillance equipment was also observed as a part of their new infrastructure in Tatu, reported news agency.

Earlier this month, Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had informed in Parliament that China has been constructing helipads, sentry posts and trenches for its army personnel in Doklam. It was also ramping up infrastructure in the region.

Last week, Indian envoy Gautam Bambawale had warned that any attempt by China to change the status quo along the border can lead to another Doklam-like stand-off between the two nations.

"In order to maintain the peace and tranquillity (along India-China border), there are certain areas, certain sectors which are very sensitive, where we must not change the status quo. If anyone changes the status quo, it will lead to a situation like what happened in Doklam," Bambawale told a Hong Kong-based magazine.

India and China were engaged in a 73-day-long standoff in Doklam along the Sikkim sector from June 16, 2017, after the Indian side stopped Chinese troops in the building of a road. The face-off ended on August 28, 2017.

Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman later said that India is alert and ready for any unforseen situation. “We are alert and ready for any unforeseen situation in Doklam. We are constantly working on the modernisation of our forces. We will maintain our territorial integrity,” Sitharaman had said.

Both the countries have been going back and forward in an effort to reboot ties bilateral ties. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's is expected to visit China in June 2018.

Explosive new Epstein files reveal Donald Trump raped 13-year-old girl, murdered newborn

News Network

January 31,2026

The US Department of Justice has released millions of new documents linked to the case of convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, before removing some pages that contained complaints mentioning President Donald Trump.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said on Friday that approximately 3.5 million files were published to comply with the Epstein Transparency Act, following criticism that the administration had missed a December 19 deadline set by Congress.

The documents include FBI communications and complaints submitted as tips, some of which list comments mentioning Trump and others who had social or professional ties to Epstein.

Trump has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing in relation to his past association with Epstein.

Pages removed from DOJ website

After their publication, pages containing complaints that mentioned Trump were removed from the DOJ website and now return a “page not found” message. Copies of the documents, however, have circulated widely on social media. CNN anchor Jake Tapper was among those who publicly noted that the pages had been taken down.

One complaint, filed by a friend of a victim, says Trump forced a girl aged 13–14 to perform “oral sex” approximately 35 years ago in New Jersey. The document states that an investigator was sent to Washington to conduct an interview.

Another complaint says Trump regularly paid an individual to perform sexual acts and adds that he was present when her newborn child was murdered by a relative. The paperwork notes that there was “no contact made” with the complainant.

A separate complaint, which provided no contact information, said “calendar girls” parties at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago involved children and sexual abuse. The document also names several public figures as present at such events.

In another account, a complainant said they witnessed a “sex trafficking ring” at Trump National Golf Club in Rancho Palos Verdes, California, in the mid-1990s. The person noted “threats” from Trump’s head of security if she spoke publicly about what she had seen.

Other figures mentioned in the files

The latest release also includes a draft email Epstein wrote to himself in 2013, referring to Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates. In the message, Epstein said Gates asked him to delete emails and referenced “personal matters.”

The DOJ has not provided a detailed explanation for why certain pages were removed after publication. The department said the document release was ongoing.
