Chinese troops have erected another tent in Daulat
Beg Oldi (DBO) sector in Ladakh raising the number of such structures in the
area of incursion to five, as the standoff between India and China entered the third week.
With China
showing no signs of withdrawing its troops from the Indian territory, sources
said efforts to break the impasse over the incursion yielded no results because
of its insistence that some bunkers constructed by India at a key vantage point be
dismantled.
China laid down this condition for pulling back
from the place 19 km inside the Indian territory in DBO, where around 50 troops
have been camping for the last over two weeks, sources said.
The government seized this issue at the meetings of
the China Study Group, headed by the National Security Advisor Shivshankar
Menon and including secretaries of key Ministries such as Defence, Home and
External Affairs. The rigidity shown by the Chinese over its demand is also one
of the reasons behind more flag meetings between the two sides not being held
for over a week.
Sources said the vantage point is at a junction
between two mountains in Ladakh area from where the Indian troops could remain
unseen and oversee the activities of the Chinese troops in that area.
