More Border outpost and Soldiers along India China Border




More Border outpost and Soldiers along India China Border



    Home ministry approved the proposal of building more border outposts along the Indo China border to keep an eye on the border. Earlier this year Home ministry agreed to construct new border outposts along the border even with despite Chinese pressure. More than fourteen outposts already constructed along the Indo China border as per earlier cleared proposal. During the UPA Regime the government keeps those plans under tables due to the Chinese pressure on constructing new fortification along border. However new government won't listens Chinese doldrums and keep constructing more border outposts.

    ITBP not only building more constructions along the border, they deploying more personals and  equipment's to keep the Soldiers perfectly equipped to confront against Chinese interventions. The Ministry also told, that ITBP receiving more night vision devices and winter suits, Home Ministry also approved the ITBP proposal of adding eight new battalions under the ITBP Command, five of the new battalions will be deployed along the border, while rest of them will be deployed in Naxal and Maoists affected northern states.

    The ITBP's prime goal is to be stop Chinese soldiers illegal border crossing, Early 2013 the Forces failed to stop the Chinese incursion, they entered inside Indian Lands and erected Tents. After despite movements from the Indian government they vacated form Indian lands. Meantime during the new government's period PLA did tried to infiltrate many times, However the Army and ITBP managed to stop them before crossing the borders.





   Last month, PLA Troops managed to infiltrate and constructed a small watch tower. Indian Army and ITBP gets orders from the government to destroy the illegal construction inside Indian territory, Later reports suggest that Indian Army deployed their special forces close to Daulat Beg Oldie to carry out combat operation if the Border action team engaged by the PLA soldiers. This shows Government always tries to take aggressive moves.

    So far this year ITBP constructed six new border posts in Arunachal and Himachal Borders, and eight posts in Uthrakhand. ITBP didn't reveal the exact destination of the newly proposed border posts. However it's believed more will be established in Arunachal and Himachal area's. where most of the incidents happens in earlier. Also the ITBP officials declined to comment about the number of attempts made by the Chinese to infiltrate Indian borders. Earlier reports revealed 300 such attempts made by the Chinese.


    The ITBP has a long time proposal of dedicated transport helicopters for resupply. The Ministry allowed funds to hire helicopters privately. However the funds remains unused because of, the lack of such medium transport planes in private companies. The ITBP keep pushing the ministry to provide dedicated  transport fleet based on Mi 17. which can meet ITBP requirement.

India destroys Chinese Watch tower near DBG




India destroys Chinese Watch tower near DBG


   Combined team from Indian Army and Indo Tibet Border Police commando's destroys a Chinese built small watch tower inside Indian Territory, which leads a small deployment of force and stand off between  Indian and Chinese Forces, the Chinese made many attempts to breach the line of actual control, earlier in 2013 they camped inside Indian Territory, later the incident was solved by diplomatic relations, to ease the tensions between Indian and Chinese patrol Both of them set up flag meeting to resolve minor disputes themselves,

   When ever there is a incursion happens, both of them calls for a flag meeting to ease the tensions, also they conduct regular talks to stop the Chinese adventures cross border patrols, the Indian Chinese borders are not fenced or marked, they follows the earlier stone signs to identify their lands, as of 2015 there were nearly 150 such attempts were foiled by Indian forces when Chinese tries to enter Indian lands.

   Recently when the ITBP patrols near the Line of actual control, they found a small temporary camp/watch tower  inside Indian territory and found that was constructed by the Chinese to observe Indian Positions and movements, ITBP forces informed about this incident to the ITBP Base commander, and base commander informs the same to Indian Army's Northern command, both of them send normal message to the Chinese field commander about the incident and asks for a flag meeting

   The Indian side waited for the Chinese to start the dialogues, they never came, when the wait is over, The Army's northern command and ITBP's Daulat Beg Oilde command send a team to destroy the Chinese Construction, within a minutes the Army and ITBP Commands destroys the Chinese construction and plans to move their respected bases,






   Within a matter of time some hundred plus fully armed Chinese men entered inside Indian land and inspects the destroyed construction, Army and ITBP informed about the incident to the troop commander and shouted " Chinese Please go away from Indian Land ". The Indian Army too deployed some fully armed combat Team from Mountain division, both of them face off each other for  some hours, and Indian Army spotted fast moving vehicles from Chinese side, and Thinks Chinese massing their build up, so Indian Army command also readies it's combat vehicles from Daulat Base,

   However the inbound vehicles come and pickup those Chinese troops and fled away from the scene,  once they vacated the area, Army also moved out from the scene and ITBP continued their regular patrol,

   Nearby LAC, China had some two operational bases Just miles away from the LAC, where Indian's have one large base in Daulat Beg oldie with an operational Air strip, earlier IAF lands it's Hercules special operation plane in that landing strip, such facilities not available in Chinese side, however the base is some 20 miles away from the border, the soldiers construct temporary camps to patrol the border 24x7, the Chinese bases too situated some 20 miles away from the border, they too build temporary camps to conduct Patrols, and sometimes they build those camps inside India, that's the major reason behind the face off.

   The Line of Actual control is regularly patrolled by the  Indian Army and  the ITBP commando's, where Army's Northern command located in Leh, where massive Indian Army is deployed and they were ready to be moved nearby borders within a hour.
