India Bolsters Border with China by Deploying Additional 10,000 Troops
The deployment aims to strengthen India's military presence along the disputed border following a history of clashes and ongoing tensions.
- India reallocates 10,000 troops to its border with China, intensifying military presence amid ongoing tensions.
- The troops, previously stationed on India's western border, will now fortify the frontier with China, covering a 532 km stretch.
- This move comes in response to a violent clash in June 2020 in the Galwan Valley, which resulted in casualties on both sides.
- India's Defense Minister Rajnath Singh asserts a strong defensive stance, promising a befitting reply to any aggression.
- Talks between China and India continue, with the latest round held in February, but disagreements over troop disengagement persist.
