China has quietly upgraded large-scale military infrastructure in the Central, Sikkim and Eastern sectors, as reported by Hindusta times.

It has also strengthened surface to air missile sites, increased the number of UAVs and expanded airbases in Tibet.

China continued to do this at a time when the world’s focus was on the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Ladakh, where conflict between the two countries has been at a peak for months. People associated with this case have given this information.

The Hindustan Times has reported that China has increased the strength of the PLA in eastern Ladakh, reducing its chances of returning to the status quo of the former in conflict zones.buy ivermectin Canada buy ivermectin generic

Indian military commanders are concerned about increasing military mobilization on the entire LAC from Kaurik Pass in Himachal Pradesh to Tel I and II in Arunachal Pradesh. 

Military commanders and those who scramble for national security said on condition of confidentiality that in the last one month they have notices that the Chinese army is engaged in road construction in Churup village on that side of Cowrick Pass.

Shikuanhe and Gar Gunsa Airport, 82 km from Demchok LAC, is a major hub for carrying troops and munitions.

According to Indian Army experts, Shikuanhe is located at a place from where one can supply logistics from Demchok to Barahati Plains.

The situation is no different in the eastern sector, where electronic wirefare units are being deployed at the old PLA camp of the 1962 war. It is 60 km from the Arunachal Pradesh border.

According to military planners, this unit is a strategic support force, with four counter-space jammers, presumably placed towards the Indian GSAT communication and commercial satellites. 

India has also found that troops are being deployed again in Yebi and the PLA has increased surveillance in Bum La.

Military planners said that the PLA has increased intelligence and surveillance activity on the 3,488 km long LAC. Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh and East Ladakh have a greater focus on the Galvan sector.

The evidence of an increase in surveillance is the construction of the Communication Towers at Chhangamu, which is 27 km from Cebula Lac in Sikkim. Trisangam of India (Sikkim) -Bhutan-China had a tug of war for 73 days in 2017.
