After completing the bridge over Pangong lake, China has installed 3 mobile towers near China's hot spring very close to the Indian territory. Isn't it a concern? We don't even have 4G facilities in human habitation villages. 11 villages in my constituency have no 4G facilities. <a href="https://t.co/4AhP4TYVNY">pic.twitter.com/4AhP4TYVNY</a>

He has been pushing for the upgrade in technology, especially 4G towers in the areas close to the LAC. China has been working on various infrastructural projects on its side, including roads, bridges, and networks.&nbsp;

''They are developing the areas on their side so rapidly. Their inhabited areas have road and phone connectivity on their side. We are so concerned with these new three towers. They can be used for anything like monitoring or so. I have been raising these issues time and again,'' said Konchok Stanzin, Chushul Councillor, Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council (LAHDC).&nbsp;

Stanzin recently wrote a letter to India's defence minister Rajnath Singh. He asked for 4G internet service in 9 villages of his constituency near the LAC.

While speaking to WION, he said the counter development of the areas near LAC is extremely important.&nbsp;

''We have started building the roads in these areas, but much more needs to be done. We need to counter develop all these areas. If you look at China side, no one lives in those areas, but they have fully functional roads, Mobile connectivity, and everything else. While we live on our area without any of these facilities. Our civilian's population lives in these areas without Internet facility while they have 4G towers in areas where no one lives. That needs to be changed, we need to develop our side fully,'' said Konchok Stanzin.

Exclusive | China has built three mobile towers close to LAC, claims LAHDC councillor

China has been using different tactics at the border areas over the years. From aerial incursions into Taiwan’s defence zone to unfurling flag at Galwan valley, China’s aggressive approach continues in border and territorial issues. All of this comes at a time when Xi Jinping led government rolled out a new ‘border law’. China’s National People’s Congress passed the law last year which said that PLA shall take measures to strengthen the border defence, support economic and social development in border areas. Among other things, the law allows PLA to work closely with civilians living near the border. The law can affect the neighbouring countries of China. It is suspected that China may have stalled negotiations with India over the LAC standoff for the border law to be implemented. China shares nearly 22,000 km border land with 14 other countries. China is yet to finalise border agreements with India and Bhutan.

China sends 56 warplanes into Taiwan's defence zone in largest-ever air incursion

China on Monday refuted media reports claiming&nbsp;incursion by its troops in northeastern Arunachal Pradesh earlier this month, Indian news agency PTI reported.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

&quot;There are mutually identified disputed areas on the LAC. Fish tail was one such area where the incident occurred. Both the armies were conducting routine patrols when it happened,&quot; a senior Chinese Army officer was quoted as saying by the news agency referring to reports of Chinese troops crossing the &nbsp;Line of Actual Control (LAC) along the border region. &nbsp;However, he hinted that there was a face-off with the Chinese Army, which has been &quot;resolved&quot;.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

According to initial reports from Anjaw district of Arunachal Pradesh, more than 40 troops built temporary shelters at &#39;Plum post&#39;, an area 45 km inside the Line of Actual Control (LAC) ,&nbsp;to claim that the territory belonged to them, PTI had reported.

&nbsp;

However, according to the Indian news agency, the incursion was detected by a joint patrol of Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), which is one of the five Central Armed Police Forces of India, and Indian Army on September 9. This was followed by a joint barrel drill, said sources.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

While some of the troops left on September 13, others left after India and China held a Flag meeting on September 14 on the Chinese side, PTI said&nbsp;quoting sources.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Earlier this year in March, Chinese incursion was also reported in the northern Ladakh sector.&nbsp;
