An alarming SOS was sent to the Indian high command by the Indian intelligence agencies. As per the sources Indian Intel has warned about Chinese intelligence agencies’ activities all across the Line of Actual Control (LAC). These are been done deliberately to gather intel on the Indian Armed Forces and their movements. So far the Chinese agents and spies, have been spotted in Ladakh, Sikkim, and Arunachal Pradesh. These are very critical and very sensitive locations for India.
Rattled China:
Chinese Communist regime and People’s Liberation Army are rattled with Indian Infrastructure development projects. India is developing several border road development projects within its territory for faster troop movements and connectivity to the mainland.
While the South Block is tight-lipped about the issue, intelligence agencies have been able to spot movement of entities in the Daulet Beg Oldi (DBO) sector near the Karakoram, the contested points on banks of Pangong Tso and across the LAC in Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh. The movement of these entities identified based on communication intercepts has been conveyed to Indian Army brass and the national security establishment at the apex level. Hindustan Times stated on the issue in an article today.
The Conflict:
India and China are locked in a military conflict over border territory for the last 9 months. The escalation began when the Chinese troops tried to infiltrate into Indian Territory. But was responded to effectively by the Indian Side. In which more than 62 Chinese Soldiers were killed while 10 Indian soldiers Martyred.
This is not the first time!
The arrest of an unidentified Chinese soldier in the early hours of January 8 in the area south of Pangong Tso in East Ladakh came after he was tracked through technical means; intelligence officials say this was not a benign incident of a PLA trooper simply straying across the undefined border.
China military online, an official website of PLA claimed: “Due to darkness and complicated geography, a solider of the Chinese PLA defense force went astray on the China-India border early Friday (January 8) morning.” The trooper was handed over by the Indian Army to the Chinese side on January 11 at the Chushul Moldo point.
Chinese Spies Are Incompetent:
Similarly, PLA Corporal Wang Ya Long was picked up by the Indian Army in the Demchok sector of East Ladakh on October 19 and handed back to PLA on October 21. The apprehended corporal claimed that he was trying to help local herders locate a lost yak.
While PLA has tried to dismiss these incidents and claims to be committed to disengagement and de-escalation from contested points in East Ladakh, Indian intelligence agencies are worried about the movement of Chinese individuals (entities or resources in intelligence lingo) in sensitive East Ladakh, Sikkim, and Arunachal sector, with communication intercepts showing that they cross over to Indian territory and remain there for days.
The geography of LAC is complicated
For example, in East Ladakh, entities have been located across the DBO sector, Pangong Tso, Khurnak Fort in occupied Aksai Chin as well as in Chumbi Valley and just across the Arunachal LAC. Communication intercepts show strong Chinese activity across LAC with the construction of new roads, temporary shelters, and sometimes permanent settlements.
Since PLA has only exchanged maps of its positions in the Central sector, the entities are using the non-demarcated border to their advantage. Given the experience with Pakistani intruders in Kargil in 1999, Indian intelligence officials said they are taking no chances.
In response to the furious military infrastructure activity by PLA across LAC, the Indian Army has put the reserve troop division also called strike division attached to Eastern Command on stand-by in north Assam.
