India China Border Tension - Latest

Indian forces are on alert along the borders of China as well as Nepal and Bhutan.

In addition to the Line of Actual Control (LAC), India has tightened surveillance along its border with Bhutan and Nepal in the wake of recent tensions with China in Ladakh.

 

According to media reports, the Home Ministry has alerted the forces deployed to guard the Indian border after a high-level meeting on Tuesday.

 

In view of the latest situation, Foreign Secretary Harsh Vardhan Sharangala and Army Chief General Manoj Makand Nirvana have also postponed their visit to Myanmar. He was scheduled to leave on Wednesday.

 

According to analysts, the current tensions between India and China could last a long time.

 

According to sources, the Indo-Tibetan Border Force (ITBP) has been directed to remain alert in Uttarakhand, Arunachal Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Ladakh and Sikkim, while the Sustar Seema Bill (S) deployed to guard the borders of Nepal and Bhutan SB) has also been alerted.

 

The Indian Army has increased its presence on several strategically important peaks in eastern Ladakh after thwarting an alleged Chinese military intervention on the southern shore of Lake Pengang. Officers and weapons have also been added to key locations around the lake.

 

India on Tuesday said it had raised the issue of alleged provocative and aggressive actions by Chinese troops with Beijing and asked it to control troops stationed on the front lines.

According to a Foreign Ministry statement, on August 31, when the two countries were holding commander-level talks, Chinese troops tried to unilaterally change the border, which was thwarted by the Indian Army.

 

China has denied the allegations and accused India of aggression.

 

In a statement, Ji Rong, a spokesman for the Chinese embassy in India, accused India of provocation and violating China's territorial integrity and called on New Delhi to immediately withdraw its troops who did not, Legally crossed the LAC.

 

He also said that India should control the troops stationed on the front lines and refrain from taking any steps that could further complicate the situation.

 

On the other hand, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has also said that the lack of demarcation of the border between the two countries is causing problems. However, Beijing is committed to maintaining peace and security on the border.

 

Analysts say that so far China has been trying to put pressure on India. But the way India has captured the high peaks near Lake Pengang suggests that India is now trying to put pressure on China.

 

According to observers, talks between the two countries are failing because China insists that the two countries' troops retreat to equal distances, while India believes that if this is done, it will hurt India. Because India will have to retreat from its own territory.

 

India does not accept China's claim that its troops have retreated.

 

Professor Billy Ram, an expert on Chinese affairs, said the June 15 clash, in which 20 Indian soldiers were killed, took place on the northern shore of the lake and the latest clash took place on the southern shore.

 

Billy Ram said that India's occupation of the high peaks of the South Bank could lead to a new conflict going forward.

 

According to him, he thinks that what has happened is an indication that more such incidents may take place in the coming days. This could happen in other sectors as well and more places could become controversial.

 

In his view, this is a signal from India that China will make every effort to enter Indian territory. New Delhi will thwart it and will not allow its efforts to change the border unilaterally to succeed.

 

Professor Billy Ram added that looking at China's preparations, it seems that Chinese troops intend to stay there even in winter. India is aware of this and so it has prepared.

 

He also said that the talks held so far between the two countries have failed. So it is safe to say that the situation is dire.

 

According to him, the Indian Army is ready for any situation.

 

It may be recalled that India's Chief of Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat has said that if the talks fail, there is an alternative to military action.

 

The two countries also held command-level talks on Wednesday.
