Tensions are growing between India and China over the border dispute. But for the first time since 1962 on the Line of Actual Control (LAC), there has been a bloody clash between the soldiers of India and China. The Chinese leadership on the domestic front due to Corona was also expected to escalate tensions on the LAC. Let us know what happened in the latest events…
While China's military officers were in constant peace talks with India after the incursion of China into the Galvan Valley and Pangong Lake areas of eastern Ladakh on May 4, its soldiers attacked Indian troops in the dark of night on the night of 15 June.
The first meeting of Lieutenant General level military officers between India and China was held on 6 June. On behalf of India, Lieutenant General Harinder Singh, Commander of 14th Corps of Indian Army, Leh, attended the meeting.
Before that, Lieutenant General YK Joshi, commanding officer of the Northern Command of the Indian Army, visited Leh to review the ground situation.
Earlier, there were ten rounds of talks between the local commanders at the border posts on both sides. Three of these meetings were held at the Major General level. The final conversation of the officers of the rank of Major General was held on 2 June.
Incidents of Chinese encroachment along the Line of Actual Control have increased from a hundred times a year to 600 times. Whereas there was a fight between the soldiers of the two countries once in three years, there have been three incidents of a scuffle in the last one year.
The skirmishes and tensions began when the Chinese Army moved two kilometers beyond its actual border here last month. Gathering in that part of the valley, which is barely two kilometers from the important road of India.
This road is actually India's supply line on LAC. India is building roads on a war footing on the lines of China for a strategic edge here. Apparently, China will also lose its natural edge after all-around road construction.
