The Chinese People’s Liberation Army is said to have reinforced its posts in large numbers and increased the scale of its training exercises by deploying military assets along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Arunachal Pradesh’s Tawang, sources in the Indian security establishment have said. The Indian Army troops, the official said, have been keeping a close watch on the development. “Considering the aggressive patrolling by the PLA troops and reinforcement of their posts in the eastern sector, it seems they are planning incursions like they did last May in eastern Ladakh,” the security official said. Of the 3,488km undemarcated LAC, 1,346km falls in the eastern sector. In an attempt to guard against possible PLA transgressions, the Indian Army is deploying additional cameras and using satellite imagery to monitor the deployment of Chinese troops along the LAC in the eastern sector.
