A fourth meeting between top Indian and Chinese commanders scheduled next week over the contested Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh is required to spotlight the critical Finger Area along with the strategic Depsang plains, which has a complex disengagement method that began after previous military talks on June 30 progressing smoothly in Galwan Valley, Hot Springs and Gogra, two officials familiar with the developments said on Thursday, speaking on the condition on anonymity.

Whilst the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) pulled back 2km from Patrolling Point 14 (Galwan Valley) and PP-15 (Hot Springs) earlier this week, a similar retreat was completed at PP-17 (Gogra) on Thursday, said among the officials cited above. The Indian Army, too, has pulled back proportionately of these friction areas.

The army has observed some thinning of PLA troops, vehicles and removal of structures from a key spur in the Finger Area near Pangong Tso over the last 48 hours, but it can’t be seen as disengagement, he said.

The Finger Area will be in the middle of the next round of military discussions involving the corps commander-ranked officers, with Depsang also figuring prominently for the Indian agenda, said an additional official.

“Disengagement at Galwan Valley, Hot Springs and Gogra looked doable from the beginning. The Finger Area is how negotiations could drag out as Chinese troops have dug of their heels in Finger 4. Receiving the PLA to retreat from the Depsang sector is equally critical from your Indian perspective,” he said.

The Finger Area, which is the term for a couple of eight cliffs jutting out of the Sirijap range overlooking the Pangong lake, continues to be the biggest make certain you challenging part of the disengagement process, as stated by HT on Thursday.

Before the PLA grabbed positions on Finger 4 overlooking Indian deployments, the army would patrol right up to Finger 8 that New Delhi considers within Indian territory. The brand new positions held with the PLA have curtailed the scope of Indian patrols. Fingers 8 and 4 are 8km apart.The Indian claim line with this sector reaches to Finger 8, as the Chinese claim is about Finger 4 .

The military is keeping a strict vigil across the contested border within the Depsang sector in which the PLA’s forward presence is often a few serious concern and where a 2013 Chinese intrusion blocked the access of Indian soldiers to several patrolling routes, including the ones leading to PPs-10, 13, 12, 11A and 11.

“With disengagement successfully completed in Galwan Valley, Hot Springs and Gogra, the military commanders will now conclude the more challenging discussions around the Finger Area and Depsang plains,” said former Northern Army commander Lieutenant General DS Hooda (retd).

The Indian focus shouldn't be entirely on disengagement but on restoration of established order ante (the situation as it existed at the begining of April) in these two important areas, Hooda said.
