New strategic road enters Aksai Chin from the North. It's the 3rd connectivity from Sinkiang, first two exist via Haji Langar and Qaratagh.
This connectivity will bypass the existing 300 km long Kangxiwar-Depsang route & reduce it to around 150 km.
Road building started late 2023

The wait for a Sumo on the Myanmar side of the village 🇮🇳 🇲🇲

The road forms the international borders, and one doesn't need a visa within village limits.

Wouldn't mind such a wait given the interesting geopolitical dynamics 😉

Guns, chicken, goats, and everything is common luggage around Burmese borderlands 😅

Lungs of the North-East - Namdapha ❤️

Under threat from encroachment, it must be protected and preserved for the future at all cost. The time to start acting to save Namdapha is now!

It's a place that has been dear to me ever since I first came across it.

Kangto range of Himalaya stand as sentinels while the Brahmaputra flows below 🤩

The North-East has thrown me her finest welcome.

Mapped: All 30 named from the 4th list published by 🇨🇳's Ministry of Civil Affairs.

The list consists of One pass (Hatung La), Ten Residential areas (Villages), One Lake (The biggest lake in Arunachal), Four rivers, and Fourteen mountain peaks.

Is this a cognitive warfare?

A list of names & places within Arunachal Pradesh that China 'renamed' recently. It's mainly a transliteration of Tibetan names into Mandarin

Yangsang Chhu (Chhu: river in Tib)= Yangsang He (He: river in Mand.)

Taksing (Nah Tagin) = Tarkashing (Tib) = Takexin (Mand.)

Lt Gen H S Panag(R) There are some mismatched expectations for sure, but I don't think it is responsible to use terms like 'betrayal'.

Okay. 2000 sq km, which in itself was a fraudulent claim, has now been upgraded to 4000 sq km 😂

Now please ask these people to point out the so-called 2000 or 4000 sq km that was lost post 2020 on the map! Liars!

Places in India like Spiti without an Automatic Weather Station crying in the corner 🥲😭

Update:

In the Eastern Himalayas, progress on the alternate connectivity to the 'Tawang Bowl' from the Kameng Sector is also visible. They'll formally announce soon, I assume!

The strengthening of the Ground Lines of Communications along our frontier with Tibet continues.

#Holi2024 - A Kyang's Holi 😉

If the scale of the landscape doesn't move you, the hues will!

A herd of Kyang look on as they graze the wild borders of Tibet and Ladakh at Tsaga

Kaypius I am sorry but just because you don't agree on his Political choice, doesn't mean you start to doubt his professional capabilities. I have relatives who have known him personally while being posted together. They were always full of praise for him.

Most large dog owners in India don't deserve to own one

I've seen Rotties abroad and they're among the sweetest dogs

In India these dogs are owned for ego, show-off and appearing macho. Rotties here reflect the nervous energy of the owner and pull them aggressively on walks
