China's bridge over Pangong Lake, which it has been building in Indian territory under its occupation, is nearly complete, satellite images dated 11 April reveal. • High-resolution satellite imagery from Planet, shared by satellite imagery expert @NatureDesai, shows that the construction of the bridge, which began last year on the north bank of the lake, has now reached the southern bank. • The support structure required for the bridge's construction is visible in the image, which suggests that some parts of the bridge may still be incomplete and that it is at least a few months away from operationalisation. • The bridge is coming up near the Khurnak Fort, at one of the narrowest points of the 134-km-long Pangong Lake. • China occupied the area around Khurnak Fort in June 1958. In the 1962 war, China expanded its control to the Sirijap Complex, further west of the Khurnak Fort. During the war, India had posts at Sirijap while the Chinese had a base at Khurnak. The 'Fingers' area, occupied by Chinese forces in May 2020, leading to the standoff that continues at some places in eastern Ladakh, is further west of the Sirijap Complex. • Large bases of the People's Liberation Army have existed at Khurnak and Sirijap since the 1960s. The map below shows the approximate location of Khurnak Fort, Sirijap Complex and the Fingers area. • #IndiaChina #PangongLake #Ladakh #EasternLadakh #PangongBridge #PangongTso #China • Subscribe to Swarajya on YouTube. • Get a Swarajya subscription: https://subscriptions.swarajyamag.com... • Website: https://swarajyamag.com/ • Twitter: / swarajyamag • Facebook: / swarajyamag
