A fourth meeting between top Indian and Chinese commanders scheduled in the near future down the contested Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh is anticipated to focus on the critical Finger Area and also the strategic Depsang plains, which has a complex disengagement method that began after previous military talks on June 30 progressing smoothly in Galwan Valley, Hot Springs and Gogra, two officials informed about the developments said on Thursday, speaking on the condition on anonymity.

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

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

The Finger Area will be in the middle with the next round of military discussions involving the corps commander-ranked officers, with Depsang also figuring prominently for the Indian agenda, said an extra 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 in their heels in Finger 4. Receiving the PLA to retreat within the Depsang sector is equally critical from your Indian perspective,” he explained.

The Finger Area, which refers to a set of eight cliffs jutting out from the Sirijap range overlooking the Pangong lake, remains the biggest test and most difficult 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 new positions held through 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 along the contested border within the Depsang sector the location where the PLA’s forward presence is often a a few serious concern where a 2013 Chinese intrusion blocked the access of Indian soldiers to several patrolling routes, such as ones resulting in PPs-10, 11A, 11, 12 and 13.

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

The Indian focus should not be seen on disengagement but on restoration of establishment ante (the situation since it existed during the early April) over these two important areas, Hooda said.
