India- China : Indian Army Has Occupied Six Major Hill Features On LAC

Posted on

In the last three weeks, the Indian Army has occupied six new major hill features on the Line of Actual Control during the ongoing conflict with the Chinese Army in the Eastern Ladakh sector.

“The Indian Army has occupied six new heights between August 29 and the second week of September. The new hill features being occupied by our troops include the Magar hill, Gurung Hill, Recehen La, Rezang La, Mokhpari and the dominating height over Chinese positions near Finger 4,” top government sources said.

These hill features were lying dormant and the Indian Army had occupied them before the Chinese army which was eyeing to sit on the dominating heights and now our troops have an edge over the adversary in those areas, they said.

Sources said the foiling of Chinese army’s attempts in occupying the heights led to the firing of bullets in the air on at least three occasions from the northern bank of Pangong to the southern bank of the lake.

The sources clarified that the Black Top and the Helmet Top hill features are on the Chinese side of the LAC while the heights occupied by the Indian side are on the LAC in Indian territory.
