China Army Constructs Concrete Camps Near North Sikkim & Eastern Ladakh

China Army Camps Near North Sikkim & Ladakh

In the midst of the continuing military stalemate with India, the Chinese Army is erecting permanent concrete buildings along the Line of Actual Control, allowing its soldiers to quickly reach the disputed territories with India. 

According to senior government sources, one such military camp is being built a few kilometres inside Chinese territory, opposite the Naku La area in north Sikkim, and is only a few minutes away from the area where Indian and Chinese troops clashed last year when the conflict began, as well as in January this year. 

"The Chinese are building permanent concrete structures which will allow them to deploy troops near the frontline areas. The road infrastructure is also very good which will allow them to reach the border areas with India much more swiftly than before," the sources said.

According to the reports, the construction of these warm modern architecture has also been spotted near places in eastern Ladakh and the Arunachal sector. 

According to the sources, the buildings would also assist the Chinese Army in addressing the issue of its soldiers feeling uneasy during winters in advanced regions.

The Chinese forces were extremely uncomfortably deployed in eastern Ladakh during the harsh winters, requiring them to rotate 90 percent of their manpower from there. 

The construction of structures in border areas also demonstrates China's intention to remain in forward positions for an extended period of time.

The Chinese have withdrawn from the Pangong Lake area and have deployed troops back to the Rutog town in the Tibet region under their control. According to the reports, the Chinese have also started constructing infrastructure there.

Since last year, India and China have been at odds as the Chinese forcefully marched into Indian territory and used violence.  

The two armies also battled in the Galwan valley, killing numerous Chinese and Indian soldiers. Despite India's declaration that it lost 20 troops in the fight, China has yet to confirm the number of their deceased soldiers.

Several rounds of negotiations have taken place between India and China, but the results have been disappointing.

The Chinese have also been dragging their feet in addressing issues at flashpoints and are hesitant.
