Tensions are high between India and China for the past few months along the Line Of Actual Control(LAC). The Indian Army is at present gearing up for a long haul in the region. To combat the winter chill in Ladakh the Indian Army has been stockpiling their oil depots, food resources as well as special tents, and extreme cold conditional (ECC) clothing.

The Indian Army on Tuesday said it is fully ready for deployment in the harsh winter months as it has stocked up all essential supplies including food items, clothing, and fuel.
