Chinese soldiers, who came to compete with Indian soldiers in the shivering cold on the peaks of eastern Ladakh, are seen getting battered. The Chinese troops deployed along the LAC in front of the Eastern Ladakh sector seem to have been badly affected by the extreme cold conditions in the region as the People's Liberation Army has sent back 90 per cent of its troops and rotated them and replaced them with new ones from interior areas. soldiers have been deployed. Since April-May last year, China has deployed more than 50,000 troops along the border close to Indian territory in eastern Ladakh despite limited withdrawal of troops from forward positions in the Pangong Lake region.

China has replaced the troops stationed there for the last one year and has brought in new soldiers from the hinterland in their place. About 90 percent of his soldiers have been rotated due to the severe cold in the area. That is, the already deployed soldiers have been sent back and new soldiers have been deployed in their place.

Sources said that the reason for this rotation could be due to extreme cold in the high latitude areas and other related problems, due to which the army of Dragon has been badly affected. Sources further said that even during deployment at the friction point in the Pangong Lake area, Chinese troops were being replaced on high-altitude posts on an almost daily basis and their movement had become very restricted.

In fact, the Indian Army deploys its soldiers in high altitude areas for a tenure of two years and every year about 40-50 percent of the soldiers are rotated. However, under these circumstances, the tenure of ITBP personnel is sometimes more than two years. Let us inform that India and China have been extensively deployed against each other in eastern Ladakh and other areas along the LAC since the April-May time frame last year and due to the Chinese aggression here, the armies of both countries have lost many. There have also been occasional clashes.

After the initial Chinese offensive in the area, the Indian side also retaliated strongly and thwarted China's nefarious attempts to capture Indian soil. India surprised the Chinese army by capturing strategic heights in the area along the southern bank of the lake, from where it could dominate the Chinese troops.

However, as tensions escalated between the two countries, India and China earlier this year agreed to vacate their positions in the Pangong Lake area and stop patrolling there. However, the troops recalled from these places remained close on both sides and further deployment is still on from both the sides. Let us tell that to resolve the border dispute that arose in eastern Ladakh exactly a year ago, the army of India and China started talks, but so far no concrete agreement has been reached from both the sides to resolve the disputed areas. So far 11 rounds of talks have taken place between the armies of the two countries. However, its single biggest achievement has been the withdrawal of troops from near Pangong Tso lake in mid-February this year.
