PLA rotating troops on north Pangong Tso, signals disengagement is far off

[FOOLS_NIGHTMARE]

The People’s Liberation Army (PLA) of China has started rotating troops on the north banks of Pangong Tso with the intent that it has no immediate plans of either disengagement of de-escalation in Ladakh. The seventh round of India-China military-diplomatic talks will take place in Chushul today with XIV Corps Commander meeting the South Xinjiang military district commander to discuss comprehensive disengagement.

According to military commanders, the PLA has moved an additional brigade north of Pangong Tso for rotating troops from finger four mountainous spur to keep up the morale of the deployed force. “Given that both sides are deployed at nearly 18,000 feet on finger 4 and the weather is deteriorating, the PLA is rotating 200 troops at a time so that front-line troops are fresh and motivated. This clearly means that PLA has no plans to disengagement at least this winter,” said a senior official.

The assessment of the Indian side is that comprehensive disengagement will be a long-drawn process despite the inherent risk of a flare-up as the PLA will occupy positions south of Pangong Tso the moment they are vacated by the Indian Army.

Fresh Chinese moves in Ladakh

Tensions high in areas south of Pangong Tso. Beginning September, Indian troops occupied the ridgeline south of Pangong Tso Lake, heights in Chushul Sector, the Kailash Range & beyond covering the Spanggur Gap. Recent inputs indicate that China's total deployment is approximately 52,000 with about 10,000 troops on the southern side of the Pangong Tso. Despite the Defence Ministers of India and China having bilateral discussions, China shows no inclination for easing tensions and withdrawing. China also abducted 5 youth from Upper Subansiri District of Arunachal Pradesh and returned them only after India raised the issue officially. China now claims entire Galwan Valley. The Peoples Liberation Army (PLA) has increased deployments opposite Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, 3 areas in Arunachal Pradesh & opposite Bhutan. India has not yet crossed the LAC & undertaken no quid pro quo. Logistics problems to maintain troops in Ladakh will increase once the Manali-Leh road closes for winter.
