Galwan sector
Image 2 | Annotated Google Map showing the situation in Galwan River
In Galwan sector, the PLA has secured the heights north and south of the Galwan river with. The PLA seems to have come across the LAC for 2-3 km in the valley and then climbed up the heights. It is also possible that it climbed the heights from China’s side of the valley and then moved along the heights westwards up to 3-4 km. What matters in mountains/ high-altitude is the control of the heights. The valleys become untenable when surrounding heights are with the enemy.
It is likely that the PLA has secured the heights with two battalions with one held as reserve at the LAC.
For the apologists of the “differing perceptions” who have theories to deny loss of territory, it is pertinent to point out that there are no differing perceptions about the LAC along the Galwan River. The intrusion here is deliberate to threaten the Darbuk-Shyok-Daulat Beg Oldie (DS-DBO) Road and prevent us from defending it by securing the Galwan valley and the heights north and south of the river.
This area is right bang in the middle of stretch of the road that India has build last year to supply its Daulat beg oldie station right up north. PLA now at will can cut off this very important Indian army station for which they build this 225 Km road.
Important areas in this region.
Well known Indian politician, Sashi Tharoor expressing same fears about Daulat beg oldie station of IA at mercy of PLA. From 1:40. Went on to make fun of Modi from 2:20 when he reminded Modi of his boosting to show China his "red eyes" when come into the power.
