A fourth meeting between top Indian and Chinese commanders scheduled in the near future along the contested Distinctive line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh is predicted to focus on the critical Finger Area and the strategic Depsang plains, using a complex disengagement procedure that began after previous military talks on June 30 progressing smoothly in Galwan Valley, Hot Springs and Gogra, two officials acquainted with the developments said on Thursday, speaking about the condition on anonymity.

As the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) pulled back 2km from Patrolling Point 14 (Galwan Valley) and PP-15 (Hot Springs) the 2009 week, an identical retreat was completed at PP-17 (Gogra) on Thursday, said one of several officials cited above. The Indian Army, too, has pulled back proportionately of these friction areas.

It can’t be seen as disengagement, he said, although the army has observed some thinning of PLA removal, troops and vehicles of structures from a key spur in the Finger Area near Pangong Tso over the last 48 hours.

The Finger Area will probably be in the middle with the next round of military discussions between the corps commander-ranked officers, with Depsang also figuring prominently on the Indian agenda, said another official.

“Disengagement at Galwan Valley, Hot Springs and Gogra looked doable from the beginning. The Finger Area is when negotiations could drag out as Chinese troops have dug within their heels in Finger 4. Having the PLA to retreat in the Depsang sector is evenly critical from the Indian perspective,” he said.

The Finger Area, which refers to a couple of eight cliffs jutting out of the Sirijap range overlooking the Pangong lake, remains the biggest test and challenging part of the disengagement process, reported by HT on Thursday.

The army would patrol right up to Finger 8 that New Delhi considers within Indian territory, before the PLA grabbed positions on Finger 4 overlooking Indian deployments. The brand new positions held through the PLA have curtailed the scope of Indian patrols. Fingers 8 and 4 are 8km apart.The Indian claim line within this sector reaches Finger 8, as the Chinese claim is up to Finger 4 .

The army is keeping a rigid vigil over the contested border inside the Depsang sector the place that the PLA’s forward presence is a a few serious concern and where a 2013 Chinese intrusion blocked the access of Indian soldiers to many patrolling routes, such as the ones resulting in PPs-10, 11, 12, 13 and 11A.

“With disengagement successfully carried out Galwan Valley, Hot Springs and Gogra, the military commanders will now start greater challenging discussions across the Finger Area and Depsang plains,” said former Northern Army commander Lieutenant General DS Hooda (retd).

The Indian focus mustn't be positioned on disengagement but on restoration of status quo ante (the problem mainly because it existed noisy . April) over these two important areas, Hooda said.
