Couple of years back, India and China had been embroiled in a major stand-off in the Doklam plateau area where the Chinese were constructing roads up to the Jhamphiri ridge, threatening Indian positions in the Siliguri corridor.

Not long ago, Indian army occupied heights overlooking the Chinese positions at Finger 4 along the Pangong Tso lake in eastern Ladakh and the heights near Spangur gap on southern bank of the lake.

These operations were held as pre-emptive actions to hold heights near the southern bank of Pangong Lake around August end. The actions by the Indian army shook the Chinese who then turned to firing in the air, which marked the first reported firing incident on the LAC in the last 45 years.
