India reveals ongoing clashes with Chinese forces along the Line of Actual Control China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) and Indian forces have clashed repeatedly at several locations along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) border, particularly in Arunachal Pradesh, according to Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) chief Strujit Kapur. Clashes began in July in Taksing sector of Upper Subansiri district and are still ongoing, he said at the annual rescue ceremony of the forces. The head of the ITBP noted that: Shauria commando forces, trained for high-altitude warfare, played a central role during the episodes. Steps are being taken to strengthen preparedness, including the raising of UAV classes in all border units, a special combat training module for Galvan-like situations and the creation of an underground infrastructure. In the past, the state authorities and ministers denied the conflicts. After the 1962 Indo-China War, the two countries agreed to maintain a status quo along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) - a loosely defined de facto border. The western sector (Ladakh) is the most disputed region, located in the Greater Kashmir region. The middle sector (Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand) is less controversial. The eastern sector (Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim) includes areas that China refers to as 'South Tibet.' substack | talk.
