Due to this tension, some strategic experts believe that India should work as fast as China has done towards increasing infrastructure on a large scale along its border with China.
By the way, some experts also believe that China has not done everything suddenly on the border with India, but during the last two decades, it has gradually created infrastructure there.
Recently, a report published in Bloomberg has claimed that India has significantly increased the number of troops on the border with China. According to the report, “India has deployed fifty thousand additional troops on the ‘Line of Actual Control’ ie ‘LAC’ with China.”
Bloomberg quoted former Lieutenant General DS Hooda of the North Zone as saying that such a large deployment of troops from both sides is worrying. He said that in such a situation, the army personnel on both the sides of the border would try to show their dominance and even a small incident in this sequence can turn the situation out of control.
Airstrip every 200 km
Senior journalist Abhijit Mitra Iyer, who has knowledge of strategic affairs, told the BBC, “Of late, India has also started working on the border with China for the last two years. Although India and China cannot be compared. ”
He says, “China has not only laid a network of roads in the areas under its control along the ‘LAC’, but it has also done the work of connecting the entire border with airstrips.”
Iyer has been doing constant studies on strategic matters between China and India. He says that China has built an airstrip every two hundred kilometers on the border areas from where fighter planes and helicopters can take off.
He says, “Developing all this at such a height definitely strengthens China’s military power. Only in the plateau areas of Tibet, China has established airstrips every 250 to 300 kilometers, while from Arunachal The distance of these airstrips is only 100 to 150 kilometers at some places in the area under its control of the LAC.
