Specialised units of the Indian Army have climbed up the heights, within Indian dominated territory facing the ridgelines of Finger 4 in the Northern Banks of Pangong Tso in Ladakh where the Chinese had built posts following their intrusion in April, ThePrint has learnt.
The move comes after the Indian Army has further bolstered its presence around the Southern Bank area of Pangong lake by deploying additional troops and bringing in more weaponry including tanks and anti tank guided missiles.
“The Indian Army is now dominating all the strategic mountain heights around the Southern Bank of Pangong lake,” said a source.
Sources said Indian soldiers are now face to face with the Chinese who also have a presence at the same ridge line.
The sources also said another round of military talks between the two sides on Wednesday to defuse tensions in the area remained inconclusive. The talks lasted nearly seven hours.
The talks at the Brigade Commander-level on Monday and Tuesday also did not yield any tangible outcome, the sources said.
