According to source, the Indian Army has begun to get deliveries of new boats suited for deployment in water bodies like Ladakh’s Pangong Lake for ferrying troops and surveillance. There are two types of boats that the army needed, one for patrolling and surveillance and the other for quick deployment of troops on the banks of the lake to reduce the time taken to manoeuvre the mountainous terrain. The Indian Army is set to get 29 boats delivered in batches over the next few months. These boats can carry around 20 troops along with their equipments and can be used for quick mobilisation.
