India carries out ‘proactive localised deployment’ in Ladakh to tackle China

New Delhi: India is carrying out “proactive localised preventive deployment” at multiple locations along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Eastern Ladakh even as it has carried out “mirror deployment” in areas where it has been challenged by Chinese troops, ThePrint has learnt.
Sources in the know told ThePrint that the localised deployment is to ensure the Chinese are not allowed to exploit anything that might just escalate the tension.

They underlined that the extra deployment is being done through existing troops in the region and none has been brought in from outside.
“In some of the places, the Chinese are challenging the LAC. And hence we have undertaken preventive deployment in multiple places so that there is no advantage for the other side. These are all preventive in nature and have been part of the tactics whenever tensions have risen,” a source explained.

ThePrint had earlier reported that India has decided to “dig in” and conduct “mirror deployment” as China has brought in a large number of its Border Defence Regiment (BDR) troops to the Galwan Valley to force the Indian Border Roads Organisation (BRO) to stop infrastructure-development activities.

Sources maintained that these additional Chinese troops in Galwan Valley are on their side of the LAC but they are accompanied by heavy vehicles and logistics such as tents to house the soldiers.
However, as reported by ThePrint earlier, Chinese soldiers have “come in” by about 3 km into territory that India perceives as its own. This is near Patrol Point 14, 15 and the Gogra Post, which is 80 km South East of Galwan Valley as the crow flies, and is between the Valley and Pangong Lake.
This is largely known as the Hot Spring area, according to the sources.

The sources told ThePrint that the Chinese have not crossed their CCL (Chinese Claim Line) in these areas but they did accept that these areas are about 3 km within India’s perception of the LAC.

India Joins Russia in Voting Against West-Backed Move to Expand Powers of OPCW

The Wire: June 28, 2018 New Delhi: India voted against a UK-backed move that will allow the global chemical weapons watchdog to apportion blame for illegal attacks, criticising the decision to grant “unchecked powers” to the head of the group which could be used for “partisan” purposes. On Wednesday, more than two-thirds of the member states of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) voted to authorise the international body to identify the perpetrators and sponsors of a chemical weapons attack. It also specifically called on the OPCW’s technical secretariat to begin work on identifying the perpetrators behind the use of chemical weapons in Syria. The draft decision, sponsored by 30 countries, was adopted at the fourth special session of the conference of the states parties to the Chemical Weapons Convention at the Hague, with 82 in favour and 24 negative votes. While Europe, the United States and their allies voted ‘yes’, there was strong oppo...
