Beijing-New Delhi conflict: Satellite images 'show Chinese infrastructure upgrades' in region contested by India

| @indiablooms | Aug 24, 2021, at 05:05 pm

Tension may once again be heightened between Beijing and New Delhi as satellite imagery of alleged Chinese roads and other infrastructure leading to the Depsang Plains have surfaced online, media reports said.

New unverified satellite images dated 17 August, which surfaced on Wednesday, reveal what seems to be upgraded infrastructure near the Depsang Plains along the western sector of the 3,488 km-long Line of Actual Control (LAC), reports Sputnik news agency.

A twitter handle named @detresfa said, "It appears the Tianwendian Highway that leads up to the Depsang Plains area under China PLA's control in AksaiChin has been undergoing roadworks, widening and upgrades this year."

The Tianwendian highway connects the PLA’s Tianwendian all-season post in Aksai Chin to the Depsang Plains. Tianwendian post is situated barely 24 km from India’s highest airstrip – Daulet Beg Oldie (DBO) in Ladakh, reports Sputnik.

Relations between India and China hit a new low last year as soldiers clashed on the border.
