Pakistan Moves 20,000 Soldiers at LOC

Pakistan has moved almost 20,000 additional soldiers to Line of Control in northern Ladakh to match Chinese deployments on the LAC.

Pakistan has moved two groups of troops near the LoC in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) and Gilgit-Baltistan. After the bifurcation of J&K, Gilgit-Baltistan is part of the Union Territory of Ladakh, but occupied by Pakistan. Sources said that in recent weeks there were many meetings between Chinese and Pakistani officials. After that there was a movement of troops in Gilgit-Baltistan. As per intelligence inputs, Chinese officials are also holding talks with the terrorist outfit Al Badr to incite violence in J&K. This clearly shows that China-Pakistan is collaborating on the border.Pakistan has moved about 20,000 additional soldiers to the LoC, this is equal to the number of Chinese soldiers deployed at the LAC in the east. The number of Pakistani soldiers deployed at the border is a lot more than what it did after the Balakot airstrikes by India.

Indian Experts fear that in the worst situation, there may be a two-front war (war from two sides). Because  Pakistan and Chinese armies are increasing on both sides of India, plus they are even trying to provoke terrorist activities in Pakistan. Now that Pakistan has increased troops in Gilgit-Baltistan, it will put more pressure and responsibility on the Indian Army. This is because the Indian Army has already sent many troops of soldiers to eastern Ladakh to fight China. 

These signs of collaboration between Pakistan and China are worrying as tensions continue on LAC. Talks have failed to make any progress (decision) and  PLA (Chinese People’s Liberation Army) has been increasing troops in eastern Ladakh, Uttarakhand, Sikkim, and Arunachal Pradesh
