Lt Gen Harinder Singh the current 14 Corps Commander in Leh will be moving to the Indian Military Academy, Dehradun as Commandant. He will be replaced by Lt Gen PGK Menon, who was part of the recent Corps Commander-level meet between India and China.
Six round of talks have been held between the two sides so far to discuss a resolution in the nearly five-month long standoff and military tussle in Ladakh.
Prior to this appointment, Lt Gen Menon has commanded a division that was responsible to guard the India-China border and had a stint in 14 Corps as Brigadier earlier. Sources say he is considered to be a good hand on China.
In the previous Corps Commander-level meeting, it was the first time that the Indian delegation had two Lt Generals, along with a representative from the Ministry of External Affairs as Joint Secretary Navin Srivastava attended the talks.
After the talks on September 21, India and China agreed not to send additional troops to forward areas at the Line of Actual Control in Ladakh.
"The two sides agreed to earnestly implement the important consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries, strengthen communication on the ground, avoid misunderstandings and misjudgements, stop sending more troops to the frontline, refrain from unilaterally changing the situation on the ground, and avoid taking any actions that may complicate the situation," a joint statement had said.
The two sides have also decided to hold the seventh Corps Commander-level meet on the Ladakh border crisis soon, but a date is still to be finalised.
It will be interesting to see if Lt Gen Menon, who is currently posted in the Army HQ in Delhi, will head the Indian delegation in the next meet or not.
Sources say if he takes charge by the time the next meeting takes place, he will be head the Indian delegation.
Speaking about the 6th Corps Commander-level meeting held on September 21, the joint statement had said, "The two sides had candid and in-depth exchanges of views on stabilising the situation along the LAC in the India-China border areas."
