He patrolled it in 1979.
Literally who cares dude? pp14 has never been permanently kept, only patrolled, so it doesn't change anything. In 1962 china voluntarily withdraws even further, dozen kilometers away from its LAC at the end of the war. Does your country consider 1962 to be a win for india?? Are you really this desperate for winning an argument when you can just admit that indian's ignorant attempt of changing the status quo has resulted in a complete failure?
Another factor to consider is that in 1993, the agreement to maintain peace and tranquility along the lac was signed. As part of it, both sides agreed to limit transgressions along the de-facto lac(where China reached in 1962). So one possibilty is that perhaps Indian patrols stopped going beyond the bend since then.
As per border disengagement agreement.
If this indian was in 1962, he would've been jumping happily like a maniac because duh.. China RETREATED kilometes away from its LAC!! INDIA WON!
Partially True (one about 1993 agreement) but then you are speculating when you say China decided not to patrol after this agreement.
You just proved my point. The distance between the mouth and the bend(the only pp14-there is no old and new pp14) is 5 km. For reference, the bridge India recently updated was built at the very beginning of the valley
All I know is that for several decades, India has not claimed past the 1962 status quo, also knows as the de facto lac. This is clearly shown in google and in every indian media source, other than Ajai Shukla's vlog. I think it is possible that things were slightly different in Brig RJS: time
