The Indian Army has established upgraded living facilities for troops deployed in Eastern Ladakh. It is a sector that receives up to 40 feet of snow after November every year and where temperatures fall up to negative 30-40 degrees. Eastern Ladakh has also been in news for the past few months in connection with the ongoing military face-off with Chinese troops along the Line of Actual Control (LAC). Fresh images emerging from Ladakh on November 18 provided glimpses of the infrastructure the army has created to support its forward deployed troops. This comes at a time when talks to resolve the border situation remain deadlocked and both armies are prepared for a long haul in Ladakh. Troops on the front line, according to it, are accommodated in heated tents as per the tactical considerations of their deployment. In addition, adequate civil infrastructure has also been identified to cater to any emergent requirements of the soldiers.
