A fourth meeting between top Indian and Chinese commanders scheduled in the near future along the contested Distinctive line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh is expected to concentrate on the critical Finger Area and the strategic Depsang plains, which has a complex disengagement procedure that began after previous military talks on June 30 progressing smoothly in Galwan Valley, Hot Springs and Gogra, two officials familiar with the developments said on Thursday, speaking around the condition on anonymity.

While the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) pulled back 2km from Patrolling Point 14 (Galwan Valley) and PP-15 (Hot Springs) the 2009 week, the same retreat was completed at PP-17 (Gogra) on Thursday, said one of several officials cited above. The Indian Army, too, has pulled back proportionately over these friction areas.

The army has observed some thinning of PLA vehicles, removal and troops of structures from a key spur in the Finger Area near Pangong Tso over the last 48 hours, but it can’t be seen as disengagement, he said.

The Finger Area will likely be in the middle from the next round of military discussions between the corps commander-ranked officers, with Depsang also figuring prominently around the Indian agenda, said another official.

“Disengagement at Galwan Valley, Hot Springs and Gogra looked doable in the first place. The Finger Area is where negotiations could drag out as Chinese troops have dug of their heels in Finger 4. Obtaining the PLA to retreat within the Depsang sector is evenly critical from your Indian perspective,” he said.

The Finger Area, which is the term for a collection of eight cliffs jutting out of your Sirijap range overlooking the Pangong lake, continues to be the biggest make certain you hardest part of the disengagement process, as reported by HT on Thursday.

The army would patrol right up to Finger 8 that New Delhi considers within Indian territory, before the PLA grabbed positions on Finger 4 overlooking Indian deployments. The brand new positions held with the PLA have curtailed the scope of Indian patrols. Fingers 4 and 8 are 8km apart.The Indian claim line on this sector reaches to Finger 8, while the Chinese claim can be Finger 4 .

The military is keeping a rigid vigil across the contested border from the Depsang sector in which the PLA’s forward presence is a couple of serious concern where a 2013 Chinese intrusion blocked the access of Indian soldiers to several patrolling routes, including the ones resulting in PPs-10, 12, 11A, 13 and 11.

“With disengagement successfully carried out Galwan Valley, Hot Springs and Gogra, the military commanders will start greater challenging discussions round the Finger Area and Depsang plains,” said former Northern Army commander Lieutenant General DS Hooda (retd).

The Indian focus shouldn't be seen on disengagement but on restoration of status quo ante (the problem mainly because it existed at the begining of April) during these two important areas, Hooda said.
