New Delhi: In eastern Ladakh Pangong -tso ( Pangong After the construction of a 400-metre long bridge connecting the north and south sides of the lake, fortification has started near the bridge. India has also acquired satellite images of it. On July 22, NDTB released pictures of this bridge and vehicles moving towards its north were also seen in the picture.
Actually, China had acquired this area of India by deceit. Khurnak Fort is located on the northern coast of Pangong-Tso. Two heavy-meds have also been built in it. During the 1962 war, the fort was to be used by China as the headquarters for all military operations in Ladakh. It also has two heavy-meds.
The fort is not just for security but air-defense systems have also been installed in it. This road also runs parallel to Pangong-like, which facilitates the rapid movement of army personnel here and there.
When contacted in this regard, the Ministry of External Affairs told the journalists that “This bridge has been built in the territory of India illegally occupied by China. This area has been occupied by China for the last seventy years. You all know that India has never accepted this illegal occupation.
Since May 2020, a “war” is going on between India and China in this region. In which there was a face-to-face fight between Indian and Chinese soldiers. 20 Indian soldiers were martyred in this. On the other hand, China told the media that “20 Indian soldiers have been killed. Whereas only four of our soldiers have been martyred.” But the real thing was that 40 Chinese soldiers were “sent to their heaven” by Indian soldiers.
After the clash in May 2020, China built another one on the northern bank of the lake between two small promontories, Finger 4 and Finger 5, in Pangong Lake. But after May 2020, military officials of both countries agreed to maintain peace in the area and agreed to keep the area as a “de-militarised-zone”. However, China has returned to its old habit of setting up a strong military base on Pangonga Lake and has also set up smaller bases in the surrounding areas.
However, India is also aware. It is keeping an eye on every move of China. Along with building roads in this area, other facilities have also been made for the army. India has developed infrastructure on a large scale.
