The Telegraph India Reported that China being “aggressive” since the latest confrontation on the Pangong Lake’s South Bank in late August. So the “aggressive” China has deployed additional troops and tanks at multiple friction points in Ladakh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With both countries sticking to their positions during Friday night\u2019s one-to-one meeting between their defence ministers, disengagement appears \u201cdifficult\u201d for now, defence ministry officials and military veterans suggested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHigh-resolution satellite images suggest that the People\u2019s Liberation Army has further strengthened its position at the standoff points. They are building more military structures, besides deploying more troops and tanks,\u201d an Intelligence Bureau official said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A veteran said: \u201cWhat we are noticing is heightened territorial aggression by China although it has been talking about carrying forward the dialogue for a complete disengagement from the standoff points. Their actions do not match their words.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Chinese have dug in 8 km inside India-claimed lines on the northern bank of the Pangong Lake, besides grabbing land at the Hot Springs and on the Depsang Plains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On August 29 and 31, the Chinese had made provocative moves and tried to alter the status quo unilaterally on the Pangong Lake\u2019s south bank but were foiled by Indian troops, army sources have said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Later, Indian troops occupied key ridges on the lake\u2019s south bank, an area claimed by both sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTensions are soaring near the latest flashpoint as the Chinese have continued to deploy more men and machines,\u201d a defence ministry official said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAmid the heightened aggressive posture from the Chinese, India\u2019s army too has increased its strength to counter any threat.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The official said any disengagement seemed \u201cdifficult\u201d at this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRight now we are holding on to our ground and the focus is on ensuring they do not ingress further,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another veteran said the result of the ongoing talks seemed to be \u201czero\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo far, there are no visible actions on the ground. (Defence minister) Rajnath Singh did send a strong message to his Chinese counterpart saying India is determined to protect its territorial integrity,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHis problem is that our Prime Minister said (on June 19) that there was no intrusion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Eastern Ladakh from all the friction areas, China has tried to cross the Line of Actual Control. So Rajnath has asked China to respect the Line of Actual Control and do not try to unilaterally change the status quo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
