China has intensified military deployment and construction activities along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Arunachal Pradesh. China is building such villages near the border which can also be used for military activities. India is also making its strategy keeping in mind these antics of China. However, Eastern Army Commander Lt Gen Manoj Pandey has given this information.
General Pandey said that in the last few days, the speed and timing of Chinese military exercises have increased. In such a situation, the Indian Army is ready to deal with any situation. However, there is a very high level of preparation for it.
General Pandey is handling the preparations of the Indian Army on the 1300 km border with China. He told that the Army's Mountain Strike Corps has started functioning fully. However, these corps have also done integrated training and all its units are fully prepared.
He informed that Integrated Battle Groups (IBGs) have been approved for modernization. These groups are able to move faster and more effectively. These include soldiers, artillery, air defense, tanks, and logistics units. This will increase the combat capabilities of the Indian Army on the China and Pakistan border.
General Pandey says that equipment is being increased in the eastern region to match China. At the same time, the idea of buying over-the-counter drone technology is also going on. However, new logistics stores are built to increase the capabilities of the army.
Last month, Indian soldiers clashed with Chinese soldiers in the Tawang sector of Arunachal Pradesh. According to media reports, 200 Chinese soldiers had entered the Indian border. They came from Tibet on the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Arunachal Pradesh, which was driven away by Indian soldiers.
China has settled a village in Arunachal, four and a half kilometers from the Indian border. More than 100 houses have been built in it. This village is situated on the banks of river Sari Chu in the Subansiri district. This is the area near the Line of Actual Control. However, its pictures were released by the US-based company Planet Labs.
100 Chinese soldiers had infiltrated the Barahoti sector of Uttarakhand on 30 August. They returned after staying there for 3 hours. According to media reports, Chinese soldiers on horseback entered the Indian border. They ransacked a bridge before returning. Barahoti is in the same area in which China had infiltrated even before the 1962 war.
