1,000 Troops Stand Guard At LAC, India Explores All Options

Separated by only a few metres, over a thousand men stand on each side of the Line of Actual Control (LAC) at present, days after India and Chinese troops engaged in a fierce, fatal clash in the Galwan Valley in Ladakh.

With a show of strength from both sides in Galwan at Patrol Point (PP) 14, at the Pangong Tso, another flashpoint, the situation on the ground remains volatile in Ladakh as Indian and Chinese armies continue the ferocious build-up at the LAC. The build-up is backed by artillery and tanks in the depth areas.

“Nothing has changed on the ground. After the June 15 clash, no violence has happened but things are very tense as a huge deployment from both sides continues in Galwan and Pangon Tso,” said an official privy to the developments.
