A fourth meeting between top Indian and Chinese commanders scheduled in the future across the contested Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh is anticipated to concentrate on the critical Finger Area as well as the strategic Depsang plains, with a complex disengagement method that began after previous military talks on June 30 progressing smoothly in Galwan Valley, Hot Springs and Gogra, two officials knowledgeable about the developments said on Thursday, speaking on the condition on anonymity.

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

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, but it can’t be seen as disengagement, he said.

The Finger Area will probably be at the centre of the next round of military discussions involving the corps commander-ranked officers, with Depsang also figuring prominently about the Indian agenda, said an extra official.

“Disengagement at Galwan Valley, Hot Springs and Gogra looked doable right from the start. The Finger Area is the place negotiations could drag out as Chinese troops have dug of their heels in Finger 4. Having the PLA to retreat in the Depsang sector is also critical in the Indian perspective,” he explained.

The Finger Area, which describes some eight cliffs jutting from the Sirijap range overlooking the Pangong lake, continues to be biggest make sure most challenging part of the disengagement process, as stated 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 modern positions held through the PLA have curtailed the scope of Indian patrols. Fingers 4 and 8 are 8km apart.The Indian claim line in this sector reaches to Finger 8, as the Chinese claim is perfectly up to Finger 4 .

The military is keeping a strict vigil over the contested border inside the Depsang sector in which the PLA’s forward presence is a matter of serious concern and where a 2013 Chinese intrusion blocked the access of Indian soldiers to a few patrolling routes, such as the ones ultimately causing PPs-10, 12, 13, 11A and 11.

“With disengagement successfully finished in Galwan Valley, Hot Springs and Gogra, the military commanders will get down to the more challenging discussions throughout the Finger Area and Depsang plains,” said former Northern Army commander Lieutenant General DS Hooda (retd).

The Indian focus shouldn't be positioned on disengagement but on restoration of established order ante (your situation as it existed during the early April) in these two important areas, Hooda said.
