  • Disengagement Agreement in Eastern Ladakh
    Disengagement Agreement in Eastern Ladakh Why in news? Chinese and Indian troops on the southern and northern shores of Pangong Tso began “synchronized and organized disengagement.” What is the significance? The move comes as the first major breakthrough in talks to resolve the nine- month military standoff along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Ladakh. The disengagement began in line with the consensus reached at the 9th round of China-India Corps Commander Level Meeting. The agreement is a promising start towards restoring peace in the border areas. What is the new disengagement plan in eastern Ladakh? Troops from both sides have started disengaging from the Pangong Tso area in eastern Ladakh. As of now, the disengagement process seems restricted to the north and south banks of Pangong Tso. The process has started with the pulling back of certain columns of tanks from the south bank region by both sides. At the moment, there is no pullback of troops from the friction points and the heights they are positioned on. That will happen in a phased and verified manner. The ground commanders have started meeting, to figure out the nitty-gritty of the process. What does this disengagement process entail? Both sides will remove the forward deployment in a phased, coordinated and verified manner. China will pull its troops on the north bank towards the east of Finger 8. Similarly, India will also position its forces at its permanent base at the Dhan Singh Thapa post near Finger 3. Similar action will be taken by both the parties in the south bank area as well.

  • Editor's Note
    Editor’s NotE I feel extremely privileged and honoured by the trust reposed in me to be appointed Director General of this great institution, the Centre for Air Power Studies. Set up by the legendary strategic thinker, late Air Commodore Jasjit Singh (Retd), and later steered by Air Marshals Vinod Patney and KK Nohwar (Retd), CAPS is well-respected for the credibility and depth of its research and analyses. Think tanks enjoy the luxury of time and resources for research. I feel that the research papers produced by any think tank must provide inputs for strategy and policy through their focused research. For this, the think tanks must remain abreast of ground realities. They must interact with the service HQ and the government to help evolve subjects of research and study. The research papers must get wider coverage. They should reach and be read by policymakers, young military leaders and other national security enthusiasts. CAPS has the additional responsibility of educating the masses on aerospace issues. With changing times, the dissemination strategy must change too. It is important to produce the content in more readable form. There is a need to go digital and use new media for greater and meaningful reach. I look forward to greater interaction with other think tanks and aerospace industry. We will encourage more young people to write on aerospace issues. We will look at and support indigenisation to realise the dream of Atmanirbharta. I would like to lead the organisation with passion and enthusiasm, and look forward to support from all. The last quarter has seen the world continue to be preoccupied with COVID-19, which has also impacted the military and security operations.
