New xiaokang (resettlement village) built in 2022 just 2 miles north of LAC near Bum La.

It is the only village built this year. Total 6 such villages were built in the area opposite Bum La (also known as nagdoh bowl) in last few years.

Further analysis below!

Area is witness to multiple clashes in last 2 decades due to differing perceptions of the frontier.
