LIVE: Rafale jets to be inducted into IAF today amid India-China Ladakh row
The Indian Army has put barbed wires as obstacles at heights under its control at the Line of Actual Control (LAC) bordering Ladakh, signalling to the Chinese that they cannot enter its territory. The People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has made multiple attempts to take over Indian-held positions, sources said.
“This has been done to discourage them from coming close to areas we are occupying. The message is loud and clear, don’t come into our area,” the official said.
Meanwhile, the first batch of five Rafale fighter jets will be formally inducted into the Indian Air Force today in Ambala air base, at a time when India is engaged in an escalating border row with China in eastern Ladakh.
