Exclusive: Satellite images show active Chinese posts near Sikkim's Naku La

The latest satellite imagery accessed by India Today TV confirms heightened activity at Chinese posts opposite Naku La border in Sikkim.

The latest satellite imagery reviewed by India Today TV shows the heightened Chinese activity near Naku La border in Sikkim. Earlier, a report by India Today had highlighted the construction of roads and new posts by the Chinese ground forces in this area. The People's Liberation Army (PLA) activity opposite Naku La visibly increased after the Galwan valley clash in eastern Ladakh. Doklam and Naku La have been the flashpoints where Indian and Chinese troops have come face to face in standoff situation in recent times. The Doklam plateau, near the crucial India-Bhutan-China trijunction, has been the ground zero of 2017 standoff between Indian and Chinese armies. Earlier this year in January, a minor face-off was reported between the two troops near Naku La. The new satellite images, exclusively accessed by India Today TV, confirm heightened activity at Chinese posts opposite Naku La border, as recent as March 12. High-resolution images, captured in the morning of March 12 by the Synthetic-Aperture Radar (SAR) satellites of space company Capella Space, confirm the presence of military vehicles, new camps and additional structures by the PLA.
