Satellite images show two roads from Doklam which separately lead to the town of Yatung in the Chumbi Valley, where China bases the soldiers that it uses for its operations in the high-altitude Doklam Plateau.

- Satellite images show China steadily making roads in Doklam
- Some run a few hundred metres from Indian posts like Doka La in Sikkim
High-res satellite images accessed by NDTV show that China has, over the last decade, been steadily converting tracts of land in the disputed Doklam Plateau into full-fledged all-weather roads that run a few hundred metres from Indian posts such as Doka La in Sikkim. The satellite images show two roads from Doklam which separately lead to the town of Yatung in the Chumbi Valley, where China bases the soldiers that it uses for its operations in the high-altitude Doklam Plateau.
The state-run Global Times said this week, "During the Doklam face-off, Beijing intensified efforts to develop infrastructure in the region and road construction there will be a long-term trend."
India backs Bhutan's claim to the Doklam Plateau, which lies North of the "Chicken's Neck" - a narrow strip that links India to its northeastern states. Any roads in or around this area are a cause of concern for Delhi because they could give Beijing access to this strategically sensitive terrain.
------------------------
The irony is that if India had settled the issue quietly, China would likely have been prepared to make diplomatic concessions on the matter of road construction.
But now that India has turned it into a big diplomatic incident, the Chinese government has no other option but to speed up road construction in Donglang.
our Super Powa brother, its so SO so cruel

When are you leaving PDF like a man with honor, my friend?
This is what it's all about. The chickens neck/Silguri Corridor. PLA is improving it's iroad network from Chumbi Valley past Dokla and south to Gymochen - which is the real target destination of the logistical infrastructure. I think this is exactly what PLA is doing right now and this is why India reacted this summer. However PLA has learn't from the summer incident and provide flank protection to ward off Indian Army. Then it has resumed construction of roads heading south toward Gymochen. Expect soon more then one road built south to Gymochen which will enable PLA to move large forces south to Gymochen from Chumbi valley thereby threatening Silguri Corridor. I think the Indian government privately have conceded defeat but they can't make it public. Instead Indian Army now will be forced to beef up it's strength in Silguri sector to insure against the posture that PLA will have [sat in strength on top of the Gymochen crest overlooking south toward Silguri] thanks to these new roads.
It seems strange that after all that noise from India about their Chicken's Neck Corridor, their "mutual defence treaty" with Bhutan, and the fact that they will never tolerate a road in Donglang, they have quietly allowed China to build multiple major roads there.
And what they say is, have you built the road yet? Where are the pictures?
Well their own NDTV obliged, here are the pictures.

@Jackdaws @ito @SOUTHie etc.
I love the changing goal posts.
First it was, we are protecting Bhutan due to our mutual defence treaty.
Next it was, no roads in Doklam!
Now it's, well you can have a bunch of major roads in Doklam, just not this specific one. But if you read the articles, the road being worked on right now is the exact same road that Indian was complaining about to begin with.
my question still remains where in the article it says the road construction started southwards towards the militarily-sensitive Jampheri Ridge
