Under the prevailing geo political situation today, India, must adopt a firm stand drawing a red line at all levels while progressing with any dialogue over LAC with China
The aggressive posturing by India in response to Chinese decision to intimidate the country along the LAC, perhaps, made Chinese to seek for a de-escalation of matter.
The Indian Army has said no troops patrolling the border have been detained by the Chinese troops. "This is not true," stated an officer speaking to ANI.
The security review by the Army Chief in the sensitive region comes a day after there were reports that China had deployed excessive troops and set up temporary tents across the Galwan river in Ladakh after a face-off near Pangong Tso on May 5-6.
The Chinese may be targetting Darbuk-Shyok-Daula Beg Oldi (DBO) Road that was constructed last year, which is a lifeline for Sub Sector North (SSN). However, India has a considerable deployment of troops in that area, unlike 1962, says the ET report.
This comes days after Chinese People's Liberation Army troops resorted to aggression against the Indian troops along the LAC in North Sikkim injuring soldiers on both sides
