India Enhanced Force-Levels In Areas With No Troop Disengagement In Eastern Ladakh: MoD

The Defence Ministry of India on Friday (December 31) announced that India strengthened its military force in areas where troop disengagement is yet to take place with China. Dealing with the People's Liberation Army, the armed forces of the People's Republic of China, the Indian Army ensures keeping up the sanctity of India's territorial integrity. Indian Army had been dealing with Chinese troops firmly as well as peacefully. As reported by Times of India, MoD, in its year-end review, said,

"Threat assessment and internal deliberations have resulted in reorganisation and realignment of forces in keeping with the Army's mandate of ensuring territorial integrity and to cater for the major augmentation of PLA forces and military infrastructure."

India, China and Line of Actual Control

Line of Actual Control (LAC) is a demarcation line separating Indian-controlled and Chinese-controlled territories. Clashes have been going on in Eastern Ladakh along the Line of Actual Control. The disputes began after the Chinese forces objected to India's building road along the Galwan River valley. After a few months, troops were partially disengaged from Galwan, Hot Springs and Gogra, while disengagement was wholly done from Pangong Lake north and south bank. In Eastern Ladakh, there are areas where disengagement is yet to take place.
