Chinese inroads into Arunachal
India and China are playing a psychological war at the Line of Actual Control in the eastern part of the country with regular reports of transgressions by the Chinese army in the disputed territories in Arunachal Pradesh.
Infrastructural development and building of unmanned camps very close to the LAC is also keeping the Army concerned.
A Chinese post at the Indo-China border in Arunachal Pradesh is within shaking hands distance. A thaw in the cold vibes between India and China has seen some camaraderie between the forces. But China continues to claim that Arunachal Pradesh is part of its country the McMohan line defines the Line of Actual Control.
Over the years, some Chinese nationals have infiltrated into Indian territory. Pictures in the possession of the Indian army show Chinese scribbles on the rocks in areas near the Kayala Pass, another such incident has also been reported from Madan Ridge.
In these areas, communicatin systems are along the river valleys. Some Chinese settlements are located near these systems. They have constructed camps at these locations, says Jayesh Saini, Brigadier, 182 Mountain Brigade.
The Chinese have consistently tried to transgress into Indian territory, even Chinese fishermen have crossed into Indian waters several times. All this is possible due to easy accessibility into India from the Tibetan side. The Chinese have invested in building several camps barley three kilometers from the LAC.
They have created an infrastructure and kept it ready for any kind of eventuality; the control of Tibet or against us, says Brig, Jayesh Saini.
On the Indian side, a poor road network makes it difficult for the Indian army. It takes 11 days for an army officer to reach the forward posts from the nearest railway station in Tinsukhia. In bad weather, the roads are closed for several days making it worse for the Indian army. The Chinese are able to take advantage of this.
It is a psychological war that is going on between the Indian army and their counterpart on the other side of the border. As the Chinese government is mobilising its resources for the infrastructural development on the Tibetan side, along the Line of Actual Control, it is becoming very difficult for the Indian army to put its forces due to adverse weather conditions and bad communication system. It is also now depends on how the Indian diplomats will assess the Chinese gameplan and prepare itself to counter it.
