The aerial surveillance in Leh increased on Sunday morning as the fighter jets of the Indian Air Force are carrying out sorties every few hours giving backup to the Indian personnel at the frontline standing against the Chinese soldiers. After taking strategic locations in southern and northern parts of Pangong Tso area along the Line of Actual Control (LAC), the aerial activity increased in Leh, Times Now’s Sohil Sehran reported from the ground.
India personnel have taken positions at different areas which are strategic and are looking at dedicated Chinese People’s Liberation Army camps in Moldo.
Across Leh, aerial surveillance has increased, satellites images also show.
India is trying to resolve the issue through dialogue but is also committed to fighting for its integrity and sovereignty. Apart from dialogues at the diplomatic level, talks are ongoing in Chushul every day at the General as well as the Brigadier level.
To facilitate the security forces, the Border Road Organisation (BRO) has also started working round the clock to complete the work on all roads connecting Leh and clean the patches which have seen landslides or were blocked otherwise, news agency ANI reported.
Latest types of machines costing crores of rupees to cut the road have been taken in and frequent blasting is also being carried out. The BRO workers and hired labourers have also been asked to work even on weekends and in double shifts. Sensing the gravity of the current situation at the China border, the workforce has also been increased considerably.
The BRO has linked a road to Ladakh through Padam-Yulchung-Sumdo to Khalsi on National Highway 1. This step allows security forces to immediately use this third access route for operational purposes.
