For the first time since the India-China skirmishes began at Ladakh earlier this year, the Indian Army is dominating strategic locations on the south bank of Pangong Lake, even as China enhanced deployment of troops close to the Thakung base in Indian territory and tried to change the status quo. In a crucial gain, India has thwarted incursion attempts by the People's Liberation Army and thereafter got hold of mountain tops -- which are advantageous positions -- so that Chinese troops could not come further inside Indian territory. China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) had made incursions in an attempt to change the status quo after increasing deployment in areas close to 'Black Top' and 'Helmet' areas at Line of Actual Control (LAC). Thereafter, China mobilised troops close to the Indian base at Thakung, which is in Indian territory.
Thwarting the Chinese designs, India got hold of Rechin La, which is about 2.5 kilometres to 3 kilometres from Rezang La on the LAC on the Indian side. India has expressed concerns about Chinese mobilisation close to the Indian base at Thakung. On Tuesday, China accused India of crossing the Line of Actual Control. However, India has denied these claims.
