1. Sources tell me it will take between 4 and 6 hours at Delhi airport from Dec 1 to get results of an RT-PCR test before one is allowed to exit or take a connecting flight. They will process 400-500 PCR tests per hour. Lets do the math on what this will mean for passengers.
2. An average Europe to Delhi direct flight takes 8.5 hours. Add 2 hours at the airport prior to the flight (minimum). 6 hours at Delhi airport. 1 more hour minimum to clear customs and immigration and pick up your luggage. That's 17 hours minimum as you leave Delhi airport.
3. Add a minimum of 2.5 hours for a connecting flight through the middle-east. 19.5 hours.

1. Unless our big international airports wake up to the new norms for international arrivals from the 14+ 'at risk' nations from December 1, there will be out and out chaos at our airports as thousands line up for RT-PCR tests and wait for the result before exiting.@JM_Scindia
2. Absolutely essential for our airports to massively ramp up RT-PCR testing facilities while working to deliver results for all passengers within a specified number of hours.
3. Imagine the plight of thousands of passengers, including children in holding areas waiting for hours while potentially exposing themselves to Covid in a closed space. Many arrivals from Europe would have spent close to 9 hours already on an aircraft.

1. Not quite. This 100 home village, construction of which qualitatively changes the status quo in the region, WAS constructed in `a short time.' On the left, an image from Aug 2019: No village. On the right, an image from Nov 2020: Village complete. 📸: @planet
2. By constructing a village on Indian territory that it claims (India considers this an illegal occupation), China categorically violates Article VII of the 2005 bilateral agreement between India and China. How? Read on.
3. The agreement says, ''In reaching a boundary settlement, the two sides shall safeguard due interests of their SETTLED populations in the border areas.'' (more)

1. Never be fooled by apologists for Chinese expansion in Arunachal who will deflect, obfuscate, allege motives and draw false equivalences to `manage perception.' This thread lists key quotes from experts with immense credibility, decades of experience.
2. Renowned Tibetologist Claude Arpi: ''The village is well South of the McMahon [Line] and the Indian perception of the Line of Actual Control.''
3. Renowned Tibetologist Claude Arpi: Construction of the village ''is an extraordinarily serious issue as it has many other implications elsewhere on the boundary.''

1. Local BJP leaders, concerned with continuing Chinese construction activity in the Upper Subansiri district of Arunachal had shared these pics of the region. Widely reported. This is well south of the village being discussed and deeper into our territory. (more)
2. The military garrison shown in the last image is clearly identifiable in both Google Earth and satellite images in the original ndtv report - ndtv.com/india-news/chi…
2. A WhatsApp forward shared to describe the images said, ''New power house and its dam have been constructed [at] a place called Bisa over Lensi river, between original Maja ... '' (more)

1. (Thread) Over the last year, @ndtv has highlighted Chinese `salami slicing' of territory in the Himalayas through detailed satellite imagery. While the attention of the world has been on Ladakh, China's territorial ambitions in the Eastern frontier have been more insidious.
2. This report on the construction of a Chinese village, near the 2017 Doklam faceoff site shows how Beijing violated the territorial integrity of Bhutan, bypassed Indian defences and continued construction towards the vulnerable Siliguri corridor.

3. This report showed how China has built 3 villages, approximately 5 km from the Bum La pass which lies close to the tri-junction between India, China and Bhutan in western Arunachal Pradesh. This puts pressure on the LAC.
