Guest guest Posted August 18, 2002 Report Share Posted August 18, 2002 A Chinese inroadhttp://www.dailypioneer.com/secon3.asp?cat=\nt5&d=NATIONThe site would change so the full articleA Chinese inroad Namita Kala/Dehra Dun Alarm bells have rung in the Intelligence network in Uttaranchal, following reports that the Chinese have crossed the Line of Actual Control and are constructing a road just 2.5 km near the Tunjungla ridge.The Intelligence network was tipped off by shepherds who spotted the construction recently.According to Intelligence sources, around 60 labourers are working round the clock to build the road. There are around seven tents pitched in the area. A report was sent to IG, Intelligence, from Joshimath on Friday.The latest road construction follows similar construction by the Chinese across the LAC near the Niti pass, where they apparently constructed a road that is around 4 km from the LAC, a couple of years ago.Sources said that the Chinese riders in BDR outfits have had a history of crossing over the LAC into the Barahoti plateau. Armed with the advantage of height, they are given to riding into the plateau for a few hours and littering the area with Chinese-made cigarettes and coke tins to prove their claim in the area. Their favourite point of entry is the Tunjungla pass, from where they fan out to Niti, Mahrila and Sarsarla pass. A notable point is that Barahoti constitutes the oldest claim by the Chinese (1956), that ultimately led to the difference of perception of the Sino-Indian border, between India and China. A disturbing fact is the distance disadvantage that Indians have, as the road head on the Indian side is 28 km away from the border. While the Chinese have equine transport, Indians have to move on foot on a terrain that is uphill all the way up to Barahoti. The Chinese have also built three ton roads right up to the Tunjunla Mahrila passes.An several occasions, the Chinese have uprooted tents of Indian sheperds and shooed them away, while our paramilitary has stood and watched because of a Central Government directive which prevents them from taking any action without clearance.A complete absence of technical Intelligence in the Middle Sector from Lepu Lekh to Gayanker (spanning Uttaranchal and Himachal Pradesh) has made the area vulnerable. A report states that the intelligence matrix in the middle sector remains inadequate, largely because no aerial survey is possible here, as it would entail flying over Nepalese and Bhutanese territory and both the countries have refused permission.In the absence of information on troop movement, roads, deployment North of Barahoti and Nelong Jedhang in Uttarkashi district, there is a complete hiatus on information of Chinese activities in the area. The report is even more disturbing because the middle sector is under discussion between India and China and maps have already been exchanged. Every road that is built will only serve to bolster the Chinese claim. Discover your Indian Roots at - http://www.esamskriti.comLong Live Sanathan / Kshatriya Dharam.
