Didnt surprise me at all.You can gets innovative words and methods such as forming human chains to stop intrusions by PLA. ........I was wondering if they gave PLA soilders "jadoo ki jhappi" too.
Jawans forming human chains to stop breach
KOLKATA/SILIGURI: Even as New Delhi talks of taking up the issue of border incursions with China at the "appropriate highest level", up in the Himalayas, the
Indian soldiers are using a Gandhian method to stop the People's Liberation Army (PLA) troops from intruding into the Indian territory.
With the PLA making fresh incursions into the Fingertip Area of Sikkim,
Indian troops are now blocking the Chinese soldiers by forming human chains.
"We are literally forming human chains to stop the Chinese from crossing over," says a senior Army officer.
"If they come in groups of 20, we assemble 50 men and form a human chain. They can't after all push us and cross the border."
Under the terms of confidence-building measures started between the two countries during the days of Atal Behari Vajpayee government, troops on either side do not open fire to stop intrusions in disputed areas.
Hence, the
Army is using ingenious methods like human chains.{surely ingenious and indigenous method ji from IA} Of course, defences are also being developed in depth, it is learnt. One of the moves is to redeploy the artillery much of which had moved to Jammu & Kashmir during the Kargil operations.
The intrusions in Sikkim have taken the authorities by surprise as the Chinese had never disputed the boundary between Sikkim and Tibet.
"Possibly, they are trying to keep the dispute alive," says an Army official.
There have been 65 transgressions into Sikkim in the last six months and on June 16, PLA men entered the region in light vehicles and later returned to their territory.
Army officers in the area recount numerous attempts in recent months by the Chinese to cross the border and remove the heaps of stones used as border markers.
At Chor La, north of Nathu La, they came twice this month, on June 17 and June 12. At Choragabe, south of Nathu La and close to Torsa Nala which is near the China-India-Bhutan trijunction and already under Chinese occupation, the PLA troops had come two days ago. At the Fingertips Area, in north Sikkim, Chinese patrols have been coming regularly for the past two years, the last being on Monday.
