Malaysia Airlines MH370 Debris Hunt: India Turns Down China's Request To Enter Its Waters To Prevent 'Sniffing Around' -- IBTimes

As international efforts are under way to find the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, India has turned down China's request to enter India's territorial waters to search for the aircraft.

New Delhi has said it does not want the Chinese warships to be "sniffing around" Indian maritime territories under the pretext of searching for the jetliner's wreckage.

The request made by Beijing to allow four of its warships, including two frigates and a salvage vessel, near the Andaman and Nicobar chain of islands, was "politely turned down" by New Delhi, reports the Times of India.

The archipelago has more than 500 tiny islands and shelters India's strategic military installations.
