Military, even though talks between them are elusive of any conclusion even after meeting and holding talks more than 15 times so far, seems to be on the front in trying to handle the situation carefully. But the matters are not that normal. As of now, it appears that while both the countries are in a way trying to reach a settlement, there is something else cooking on the sidelines that pose a serious challenge to the armed forces of the country.
If reports are to be believed then there are detailed and far-correct intelligence inputs suggesting the Chinese army might be planning fresh incursions at several sensitive places along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) from Ladakh to Arunachal. If the intelligence inputs are correct, then the same should not come out as a shock, because the Indian side, ever since the Galwan clashes, has been on the back foot even as the bitterness in the ties of both the countries was accepted by the External Affairs Minister who said that things are not quite good with China and even went on to say that the betterment in ties would take much time.
While there was a thaw in the relations and bloody clashes which then followed, India has not been able to establish its writ which can be understood by the fact that the Chinese Army categorically refused to retreat from the points which it had captured while as the Indian side, represented by the army commander, has been pressing for the retreat, but, there was nothing in India’s favour.
Now, all over again, there are imminent incursions from the Chinese side set to take place from the spots that earlier as well witnessed repeated incursions. While the army, as well as the Indo-Tibetan Border Police, have been alerted, there is a need for putting in place the necessary defence from the Indian side and while the situation could be challenging for the armed forces, there is a need for devising a fool-proof strategy to make the Chinese incursion attempts fail and ensuring a thorough push back of the enemy from all the side, well in time.
