(Express Photo by Deeptiman Tiwary) Pema Sherpa at her cafe in Gnathang village. They are all headed to Doka La, just 9 km away, where Indian and Chinese forces have been locked in a standoff for the past two months. Lhamu’s cafe is in the line of sight of Doka La and thus in the line of fire. One of them talks about the cold and showers that the 400 men stationed at Doka La are weathering, and how neither side is budging. 10 km?”Laughing, labourers in Dzuluk say the talk in the village is that if China takes Doka La, it would annexe Sikkim and Bhutan.
