Army chief General M M Naravane, who has been reviewing operational preparedness in eastern Ladakh after Indian troops occupied heights to thwart Chinese manoeuvres, Friday said the situation along the Line of Actual Control is “tense”.
He said Indian actions have only been along the LAC — this was his way of countering Chinese allegations that Indian troops crossed the LAC last weekend.
In pre-emptive moves to scuttle Chinese plans, Indian troops raced to occupy heights on the south bank of Pangong Tso and Rechin La near Rezang La, giving them a commanding view of the terrain including the Spanggur Gap and the Chinese garrison at Moldo.
Indian and Chinese brigade commanders have been meeting regularly ever since, but the talks have not made much headway. The brigade commanders met for around three hours Friday, their fifth meeting since Monday.
