A fourth meeting between top Indian and Chinese commanders scheduled in a few days across the contested Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh is predicted to concentrate on the critical Finger Area and also the strategic Depsang plains, having a complex disengagement process 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 on the condition on anonymity.

Whilst the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) retracted 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 many officials cited above. The Indian Army, too, has pulled back proportionately during these friction areas.

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

The Finger Area will be at the centre from the next round of military discussions between your corps commander-ranked officers, with Depsang also figuring prominently on the Indian agenda, said a second official.

“Disengagement at Galwan Valley, Hot Springs and Gogra looked doable right away. The Finger Area is the place negotiations could drag out as Chinese troops have dug inside their heels in Finger 4. Getting the PLA to retreat within the Depsang sector is every bit critical through the Indian perspective,” he said.

The Finger Area, which refers to a set of eight cliffs jutting out of your Sirijap range overlooking the Pangong lake, continues to be biggest make certain you most challenging part of the disengagement process, as stated 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 modern positions held through the PLA have curtailed the scope of Indian patrols. Fingers 8 and 4 are 8km apart.The Indian claim line within this sector reaches to Finger 8, whilst the Chinese claim is up to Finger 4 .

The army is keeping a rigid vigil down the contested border in the Depsang sector where the PLA’s forward presence is really a a few serious concern and where a 2013 Chinese intrusion blocked the access of Indian soldiers a number of patrolling routes, such as ones resulting in PPs-10, 11A, 11, 13 and 12.

“With disengagement successfully carried out in Galwan Valley, Hot Springs and Gogra, the military commanders will begin greater challenging discussions across 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 established order ante (the situation as it existed noisy . April) of these two important areas, Hooda said.
