In one line
The LAC is the actual line of control separating the part of Indian territory from that of China. The line is drawn with the 1962 Sino-Indian war.
Some remarks about the LAC:
- No accord formally exists between the two nations on the LAC.
- No map or physical demarcation denotes the LAC.
- The difference between the LAC and the borders claimed by each country is as per Sino-Indian border dispute.
- India believes it has 3,488 km long LAC, and to China, the distance is only about 2,000 km in length.
- The LAC has generally been segregated into three sectors: western, middle, and eastern.
- The precise configuration of the LAC continues to be one of the most crucial points of contention between the two countries.
- Even after a troubled peace and an LAC, skirmishes erupt between the two nations.
Some moves to bolster the LAC include:
- Setting up a specific agency to manage infrastructure along the border with India.
- Establishing vibrant villages along the LAC.
- Infrastructure development in the form of roads, rail, water, power, and communication.
