Another official said that the entire stretch along the LAC in Ladakh was seeing “worrisome hardening of Chinese positions, including the placement of 10 mechanised and armoured regiments and at least 15 positions of artillery guns."
Situation precarious at Pangong Tso, distance between Finger 4-8, around 8 kms, was till now patrolled both by India and China. India considers its perception of the Line of Actual Control (LAC) to end at Finger 8.
However, since April, the Chinese troops advanced till Finger 4 and have occupied the area where both sides regularly patrolled and face-offs used to occur, the official said.
“The Chinese have reduced the presence in the Finger area but certainly they have not moved back an inch. It is anticipated that if they agree to do so, then they will use it as a leverage to assert their claim in some other disputed area,” said the official.
Govt also tasked the NTRO to analyse the satellite images shared by foreign researchers on social media which indicate that between June 15 and 22, China rebuilt the observation post and also set up structures reinforcing its positions in Galwan.
