A fourth meeting between top Indian and Chinese commanders scheduled next week along the contested Distinct Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh is anticipated to pay attention to the critical Finger Area and also the strategic Depsang plains, which has a complex disengagement method that began after previous military talks on June 30 progressing smoothly in Galwan Valley, Hot Springs and Gogra, two officials familiar with the developments said on Thursday, speaking on the condition on anonymity.

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

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

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

“Disengagement at Galwan Valley, Hot Springs and Gogra looked doable in the first place. The Finger Area is how negotiations could drag out as Chinese troops have dug in their heels in Finger 4. Getting the PLA to retreat in the Depsang sector is equally critical in the Indian perspective,” he stated.

The Finger Area, which refers to a collection of eight cliffs jutting out from the Sirijap range overlooking the Pangong lake, remains the biggest test and hardest part of the disengagement process, as 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 newest positions held from the PLA have curtailed the scope of Indian patrols. Fingers 8 and 4 are 8km apart.The Indian claim line in this sector reaches Finger 8, whilst the Chinese claim is up to Finger 4 .

The military is keeping a rigid vigil over the contested border from the Depsang sector the location where the PLA’s forward presence can be a couple of serious concern and where a 2013 Chinese intrusion blocked the access of Indian soldiers to many patrolling routes, such as ones ultimately causing PPs-10, 12, 11A, 11 and 13.

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

The Indian focus really should not be positioned on disengagement but on restoration of established order ante (the situation because it existed in early April) over these two important areas, Hooda said.
