A fourth meeting between top Indian and Chinese commanders scheduled in the future across the contested Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh is predicted to concentrate on the critical Finger Area as well as the strategic Depsang plains, having a complex disengagement method that began after previous military talks on June 30 progressing smoothly in Galwan Valley, Hot Springs and Gogra, two officials informed about the developments said on Thursday, speaking about the condition on anonymity.

Even though the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) retracted 2km from Patrolling Point 14 (Galwan Valley) and PP-15 (Hot Springs) the 2009 week, much the same retreat was completed at PP-17 (Gogra) on Thursday, said one of several officials cited above. The Indian Army, too, has retracted proportionately during these friction areas.

The army has observed some thinning of PLA removal, troops and vehicles of structures from a key spur in the Finger Area near Pangong Tso over the last 48 hours, but it can’t be seen as disengagement, he said.

The Finger Area is going to be at the centre from the next round of military discussions between your corps commander-ranked officers, with Depsang also figuring prominently on the Indian agenda, said a second official.

“Disengagement at Galwan Valley, Hot Springs and Gogra looked doable from the beginning. The Finger Area is how negotiations could drag out as Chinese troops have dug inside their heels in Finger 4. Obtaining the PLA to retreat from the Depsang sector is every bit critical from the Indian perspective,” he was quoted saying.

The Finger Area, which describes some eight cliffs jutting out from the Sirijap range overlooking the Pangong lake, remains the biggest test and challenging part of the disengagement process, reported by HT on Thursday.

Before the PLA grabbed positions on Finger 4 overlooking Indian deployments, the army would patrol right up to Finger 8 that New Delhi considers within Indian territory. The new positions held from the PLA have curtailed the scope of Indian patrols. Fingers 8 and 4 are 8km apart.The Indian claim line within this sector reaches to Finger 8, even though the Chinese claim is about Finger 4 .

The military is keeping a strict vigil over the contested border within the Depsang sector in which the PLA’s forward presence is a few serious concern and where a 2013 Chinese intrusion blocked the access of Indian soldiers to several patrolling routes, such as ones ultimately causing PPs-10, 11, 11A, 12 and 13.

“With disengagement successfully finished in Galwan Valley, Hot Springs and Gogra, the military commanders will now start greater challenging discussions throughout the Finger Area and Depsang plains,” said former Northern Army commander Lieutenant General DS Hooda (retd).

The Indian focus really should not be entirely on disengagement but on restoration of establishment ante (the problem mainly because it existed noisy . April) over these two important areas, Hooda said.
