A fourth meeting between top Indian and Chinese commanders scheduled in the future along the contested Type of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh is required to focus on the critical Finger Area and also the strategic Depsang plains, which has 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 on 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, the same retreat was completed at PP-17 (Gogra) on Thursday, said one of several officials cited above. The Indian Army, too, has pulled back proportionately of 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 probably be at the centre of the next round of military discussions involving the corps commander-ranked officers, with Depsang also figuring prominently on the Indian agenda, said an extra official.

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

The Finger Area, which refers to a couple of eight cliffs jutting out of your Sirijap range overlooking the Pangong lake, remains to be the biggest make sure most challenging part of the disengagement process, reported by HT on Thursday.

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

The military is keeping a rigid vigil down the contested border in the Depsang sector in which the PLA’s forward presence is really a matter of serious concern where a 2013 Chinese intrusion blocked the access of Indian soldiers a number of patrolling routes, including the ones ultimately causing PPs-10, 13, 11A, 11 and 12.

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

The Indian focus really should not be seen on disengagement but on restoration of establishment ante (the problem because it existed at the begining of April) during these two important areas, Hooda said.
