After Being Stopped From Making Road, China Is Now Building Helipads, Sentry Posts At Doklam

The People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has undertaken “construction of some infrastructure, including sentry posts, trenches and helipads” near the face-off site between Indian and Chinese troops at Doklam in the Sikkim-Bhutan-Tibet tri-junction area, said defence minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Monday.

“Post disengagement from the face-off in 2017, troops of both sides have re-deployed themselves away from their respective positions at the face-off site. The strength of both sides has been reduced,” said the minister, in a written reply to a question in Lok Sabha.

As was earlier reported by TOI, though Indian troops in June last year had blocked China’s attempt to extend the existing motorable road southwards towards the Jampheri Ridge in south Doklam.
