Situation in eastern Ladakh stable but unpredictable: Indian Army chief

New Delhi: India's Army Chief Gen Manoj Pande summed up the situation in eastern Ladakh as "stable but unpredictable".

The Army chief's observation comes in the midst of the 30-month standoff between Indian and Chinese troops in the region.

Addressing a think-tank, General Pande said the next round of talks would focus on resolving issues at two friction points—a reference to Demchok and Depsang in that region, according to India Today.

General Pande added that there has been no reduction in the strength of the Chinese troops at the Line of Actual (LAC) in the high altitude region.

There are signs of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) brigades, who came for collective training, to return with the onset of winter, he added.

Showing China's build-up in the area, the Army Chief said China had gone on with making helipads, airfields and roads close to passes.

The G695 highway, built parallel to the LAC, will help China to move forces forward and also switch forces from sector to sector, according to him.

The talks between the two nations, general Pande said, helped finding resolution in five out of seven friction points that were discussed at the talks.

Responding to Chinese President Xi Jinping's direction to PLA troop to be vigilant enough fight and win wars, general Pande said Indian forces needed to focus on Chinese actions, according to the report in India Today.
