NEW DELHI: India will hold the next round of top-level military talks with China on March 11, in another attempt to avert a 22-month-long military confrontation in the East. LadakhThe last such talks in January failed to break the deadlock in the high-altitude region, with rival troops pitted against each other.
India expects “some progress” in at least completing the 15th round of Corps Commander-level talks at Patrolling Point-15 (PP-15) in the Hot Springs-Gogra-Kongka La area. On Friday in the Indian side of Chushul Moldo border point.
However, the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has so far rejected all proposals to ease the much larger standoff at India’s Charding Ninglung Nala (CNN) track junction. Demchok and strategically located Depsang Field.
“The standoff continues at Depsang and Demchok. Once dissolution is achieved in PP-15, in all likelihood, top-level political intervention will be required to resolve the matters,” said a senior official.
However, another official was cautiously optimistic. “Both sides will now focus on achieving resolution of equilibrium friction zones” PP-14 in Galwan Valley, PP-17A near Gogra and Pangong Tso – Kailash Range Area. “The recent statements by both sides to find a mutually acceptable solution are encouraging and positive in nature,” he said.
The friction in PP-15, which is about 30 kilometers north of Gogra, is relatively easy to resolve because the situation is similar to the earlier face-off in PP-17A. The PP-15 each has only 40-50 opponent soldiers, although they are supported by thousands more in “immediate depth” areas there.
Although the cornerstone for the removal of the PP-15 was laid during the 12th round in July last year, the extent to which the rival forces will back down in the region has been a pressing issue.
If both sides agree to disengage into PP-15, a fourth “no-patrol buffer zone” would be created, varying from 3-km at face-off sites on PP-15 to about 10-km earlier. 14, PP-17A and two banks of pangong tso, However, there are concerns that these buffer zones have emerged largely from what India claims to be its territory, as previously reported by TOI.
In addition, the PLA has deployed more than 50,000 troops during the second consecutive winter, while continuing to strengthen its military position and border infrastructure, which is 3,488 km long. line of actual control Upgrade all your airports from Ladakh to Arunachal Pradesh, as well as the ones facing India.
All this was reinforced by the PLA’s recent construction of a bridge across the Pangong Tso in the Khornak Fort area, which had been illegally occupied by China since 1958, in order to bridge the gap between the north and south shores of the Saline Lake. For better connectivity of our soldiers.
