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

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

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

The Finger Area will likely be at the centre from the next round of military discussions between the corps commander-ranked officers, with Depsang also figuring prominently on the Indian agenda, said another official.

“Disengagement at Galwan Valley, Hot Springs and Gogra looked doable right from the start. The Finger Area is where negotiations could drag out as Chinese troops have dug of their heels in Finger 4. Obtaining the PLA to retreat within the Depsang sector is evenly critical in the Indian perspective,” he stated.

The Finger Area, which is the term for a set of eight cliffs jutting out of the Sirijap range overlooking the Pangong lake, continues to be biggest make sure most challenging part of the disengagement process, as 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 modern positions held by the PLA have curtailed the scope of Indian patrols. Fingers 8 and 4 are 8km apart.The Indian claim line on this sector also includes Finger 8, as the Chinese claim is perfectly up to Finger 4 .

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

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

The Indian focus should not be seen on disengagement but on restoration of status quo ante (your situation mainly because it existed noisy . April) during these two important areas, Hooda said.
