New Delhi: China has once again started strengthening its position on the LAC adjacent to eastern Ladakh. According to open-source intelligence, 'The Intel Lab', the military camps of both countries are about a kilometer away in the Depsang Plain. Due to the ongoing tension on the LAC for the last one and a half years, the patrolling of both countries is closed in this area. India and China have signed a disengagement agreement in the Finger Area, Kailash Hill Range, and Gogra, but the tension is still going on in the Depsang Plain and the soldiers of both countries are eyeballs to eyeball. 'The Intel Lab' has released a satellite image of Raki Nallah of Depsang plane, which shows that the military camps of both the countries are 1.21 km apart in this area.
Depsang plane has five patrolling points
PP No. 10, 11, 11A, 12, and 13. The Chinese Army creates difficulties on the patrol of the Indian Army at these five patrolling points. For the last one and a half years i.e. ever since the confrontation between the armies of India and China has started on the LAC adjacent to eastern Ladakh, since then patrolling is also closed here. The armies of both countries have deployed tanks, armored vehicles, and heavy machinery in a tremendous manner. Let us tell you that there are a total of 65 patrolling points between India and China on the 826-km-long Line of Actual Control adjacent to Eastern Ladakh, starting from the Karakoram Pass (Pass) to Depsang Plain, Galwan Valley, Gogra, Hot-Spring, Finger Area. , Pangong-Tso Lake and Kailash Hill range to Chumar-Demchok.
According to the information, a Y-junction is formed in the Depsang plane, which is a few kilometers away from Burts. There are five patrolling points between the two adjacent drains--Jeevan Nala and Raki Nala--PP-10, 11, 11A, 12, and 13.
The dispute between the two countries in Depsang Plain is very old. In this area very close to India's Daulat Beg Oldi ie DBO, the first dispute between the two countries regarding patrolling took place in the year 2002. But this dispute took the form of a major confrontation in April 2013 when the armies of both the countries had set up their camps here for the first time and there was a 'faceoff' (standoff) for 25 days.
Depsang Plain of Karakoram Range is an area of great strategic importance.
The Depsang Plain of the Karakoram Range is an area of great strategic importance for both India and China. of India because from here the road of strategic importance, DS-DBO i.e. 255 km long Durbuk-Shyok-Daulat Beg Oldie Road passes. The world's highest ALG i.e. Advanced Landing Ground (DBO) is just 30 kilometers away from here, due to which India has an edge over China in this area. It is of importance to China because China's G-219 highway passes near it, which connects Tibet with Xinjiang province.
If sources are to be believed, the area of Depsang Plain for China is the same as the chicken-neck of Siliguri Corridor for India. China is afraid that if India takes over this area, then the G-219 highway will come under the direct JD of the Indian Army. That is why China keeps putting obstacles in the patrolling of the Indian Army in this area.
This is the fifth flash-point between the armies of India and China on the Line of Actual Control in eastern Ladakh after Galvan Valley, Finger-Area, Pangong Tso Lake, and Gogra (Hot Spring). However, after the two-stage disengagement, the dispute over the Finger Area, Kailash Hill Range, and Gogra have almost been resolved and the forces have retreated.
If sources are to be believed, at the time of the start of the dispute, the Chinese army wanted to push the LAC i.e. Line of Actual Control towards the west so that some areas in the Depsang Plains could be captured. In the year 2013, when the face-off between India and China took place in Depsang Plains, then the faceoff ended only after high-level political and diplomatic intervention and the armies of both the countries withdrew. The faceoff was over after about 25 days.
restarted the runway
About four months after this faceoff, the Indian Air Force resumed its airstrip that had been closed for years at DBO. During that time, the Air Force achieved the title of the world's highest airstrip by landing its military transport aircraft, the C-130J Super Hercules here. This airstrip was built during the war of '62. But after a few years, it was damaged after an earthquake in this area. After that, the helicopters of the Indian Air Force used to do operations here but the landing of the transport aircraft was stopped. But four months after the April 2013 faceoff, the airstrip here was made ready for cargo aircraft.
The creation of a DBO airstrip helps a lot in transporting military and military equipment to the area. The movement of soldiers from DBO road and DBO airstrip has become very fast. Due to the DBO airstrip, last year i.e. in April-May 2020, the Indian Army had rapidly deployed its soldiers and other military equipment on the LAC in this area, due to which China's PLA army was also stunned.
Meanwhile, there is also news that China's PLA Army is preparing permanent camps and barracks for its soldiers on the LAC. Apart from this, the Chinese army is also keeping an eye on India's deployment and drones are being used for this. Let us tell you that because of the drone activities of China, the Indian Army is now buying a large number of drones. These surveillance drones are being procured to be deployed on the LAC, for which the Army has signed several big deals in the last few months.
