TAP TO UNMUTE

New Delhi: Amid the border standoff with China in Eastern Ladakh, India has given a strong message to Beijing: it will not stop developing infrastructure in strategic areas located along the Line of Actual Control (LAC).

Government sources said on Tuesday that the country’s leadership has taken a decision to this effect in the wake of China's well-coordinated efforts obstruct India’s infrastructure development moves in areas like eastern Ladakh and Sikkim.

The decisions were taken on a day when Prime Minister Narendra Modi met National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, Chief of Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat and the three Service Chiefs. Earlier in the day, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh too had chaired a meeting with the CDS and the three Service Chiefs during which a decision was taken to send in more troops to match China’s military strength in areas where standoffs are underway.

The decisions were taken a day before a crucial meeting of top commanders of the Indian Army, which is slated to undertake an in-depth review of the prevailing situation in several areas along the LAC. The three-day conference of the Army top commanders is beginning today (Wednesday).

The Army commanders are likely to focus their deliberations on the evolving situation in eastern Ladakh. As per top military sources, Indian and Chinese troops are engaged in an eyeball-to-eyeball face-off in Pangong Tso, Galwan Valley, Demchok and Daulat Beg Oldie.

The standoff between the armies of India and China had started on the evening of May 5, when troops from both sides indulged in a violent face-off at Pangong Tso lake. Since then, eyeball-to-eyeball situations have developed along several places along the LAC in Ladakh.

With the standoff failing to end even after three weeks, the Army has moved in more troops to sensitive border locations Ladakh as well as in North Sikkim, Uttarakhand and Arunachal Pradesh. Sources said the aim behind sending these reinforcements and beef up deployment is to tell China that India will not buckle under aggressive military posturing by Beijing anymore.

It has been learned that during his meeting, Defence Minister Singh told the military leadership to carry on with key projects along the LAC, underlining that there was no need for a review amid the standoff with China. Such key projects along the LAC are underway in Ladakh, Sikkim, Uttarakhand and Arunachal Pradesh.

Just read about that, some good developments. Also a new tunnel in Rishikesh

Fake news, didn't you see the memo PDF officially received from GoI and CPC...the mighty Dragon literally walked over and claimed the entire union-territory of Ladakh, the states of Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh. The chicken's neck will be cut off soon and India will loose the North East

Pakistan is on track to claim J&K and our troops are currently being served with some pakistani tea in Siachen per PDF
 
Its a standard SOP now used by them (indians had no business in doklam etc and crossed into bhutan/china "illegally" when they full well know the defence pact between india and bhutan and what the earlier status quo agreement agreed by all parties involved)

.... just the locale has changed...and situation reversed somewhat (its India that is building/improving a road in the area changing the status quo as China claims to see it...though no side every agreed to desist from this activity in this area unlike Doklam triangle).
There is also a real hesitation to up the ante beyond banners due to the next escalation rung requiring a lot more equipment and vehicles to support it which can be misconstrued by either side to be a mountain rather than a molehill.
 
Pakistanis really regards China in big way and they have big hope and faith, it's really heartbreaking for Pakistan to see Chinese aggression of showing banners.

I really think PLA needs to be trained by PA to make them invincible.

Probably they don't know that we have more troops, airbases & landing strips at LAC as compared to China + armoured regiments in southern ladakh and northern Sikkim. :-)
