New Delhi: The Chinese military is fortifying its position inside the India-claimed area China has occupied since 2020, erecting watchtowers mounted with CCTV cameras at the Depsang Plains and Hot Springs in Ladakh, The Telegraph reported citing official sources.
The report quoting the sources in the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) – which guards the disputed Line of Actual Control along the India-China border – said the watchtowers have been erected to “keep an eye on Indian troop deployment”.
“Ground reports suggest that China’s army has continued with its constructions in the friction areas along the Line of Actual Control,” an ITBP official said, according to The Telegraph.
