Indian Troops In Doklam

Indian and Chinese troops remained engaged in an eyeball-to-eyeball situation in several areas along the Line of Actual Control in eastern Ladakh, signalling that the standoff could become the biggest military face-off after the Doklam crisis in 2017.

China on Monday reacted guardedly to an incident involving its troops and Indian soldiers engaging in hand-to-hand fighting at a high altitude picket in north Sikkim on Saturday. The Chinese Foreign Ministry said its troops remained "committed to upholding peace and tranquillity" at border areas, news agency Press Trust of India reported.

Indian Navy's Poseidon 8I anti-submarine warfare aircraft was deployed to carry out surveillance on movement of Chinese troops during the 73-day-long standoff between India and China in mountainous Doklam.

Indian troops deployed along the disputed Sino-India border in the Himalayan range of the Arunachal sector have increased their patrolling at a tri-junction of India, China and Myanmar to prevent a repeat of a Doklam-like standoff.

Indian and Chinese troops have "redeployed" themselves away from the face-off site in Doklam, and China has undertaken construction of helipads, sentry posts and trenches for its army personnel there, Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said on Monday.

India said today that the status quo has not been altered at Doklam, where Indian and Chinese troops were locked in a stand-off for over two months last year, and rejected any suggestion to the contrary as "inaccurate and mischievous".

The focus of the Indian army will shift to the country's border with China in the north as opposed to the long-standing focus on the western border, Chief of Army staff General Bipin Rawat said on Friday.

Delhi woke up to a dense fog this morning as minimum temperature was recorded at 9 Degree Celsius on Wednesday.

The Army is totally geared up to face any situation in the Doklam sector and any mischief will be dealt with "properly", General Officer Commanding-in-Chief of the Eastern Command Lieutenant General (Lt Gen) Abhay Krishna said on Saturday.

Army Chief General Bipin Rawat said today that both Indian and Chinese troops were present in Doklam, but were not in an "eyeball-to-eyeball" contact.

Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has received plenty of favourable reviews from Chinese media for her weekend visit to the border at Sikkim which only months ago witnessed a major stand-off between the armies of the two countries.
