The Chinese army is building highways and roads along with additional settlements for its troops inside India-claimed lines in eastern Ladakh, sources in the security establishment said on Monday.
The development has deepened apprehensions among military veterans and security experts that China may be planning to hold on to the territory it has occupied and declare a news status quo on the Line of Actual Control.
“Intelligence reports suggest that the Chinese army is ramping up its military positions by building additional highways and roads in eastern Ladakh. It has also built new habitats for its troops inside India-claimed lines,” a security official attached to the Union home ministry told The Telegraph.
