    Amid Indo-China border row, India deploys tunnel defenses in Ladakh
  • Months into a border standoff with China along the Line of Actual Control (LAC), India has reportedly deployed "tunnel defenses" in Ladakh.

    The move would enable Indian forces to pre-empt any further transgressions from the People's Liberation Army (PLA).

    India and China have been engaged in a bitter standoff along the LAC in Eastern Ladakh since early-May.

    Here are more details.

  • The Indian Army has deployed large-diameter Hume-reinforced concrete pipes in dug-in tunnels, Hindustan Times reported citing senior military commanders.

    This would provide Indian troops shelter during an attack and a chance to surprise the adversary.

    Reportedly, the pipes are six-eight feet wide, allowing troops to easily move through them. They can also be heated, thus providing shelter from the biting cold.

    Even as both sides held talks for a peaceful resolution, another clash in Galwan Valley led to the martyrdom of 20 Indian soldiers and a disputed number of Chinese casualties.

    The situation continues to be tense since fresh border escalations followed in late-August.
