Defence services always remain prepared for military actions should all efforts to restore status quo along the LAC do not succeed,” General Rawat told Hindustan Times. China has built up its presence along the LAC in Ladakh, with India deploying heavily to match its northern neighbour. It is widely believed that the immediate reason for the Chinese transgressions was the construction of the DSDBO road. The security agencies are constantly updating information collected through human and technical intelligence about the Chinese Army all along the 3,488-kilometre LAC. The Indian Army is aware of not only the Chinese military capability in the occupied Aksai Chin area but also in the so-called depth areas through tech-intelligence and satellite imagery.
