Territorial changes source

This article reports that "A summer of fighting saw India lose control over about 300 square kilometers of land along the disputed mountainous terrain". It has amazing 3D maps of the territorial changes.

I think details in the infobox should be re-looked at as India now has gained access to Depsang and Demchok. DataCrusade1999 (talk) 04:00, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

India claim of LAC contradict what can be seen on google earth timeline feature.

it seem the Indian narrative that "the buffer zone is in Indian side" does not appear to be accurate. even if we ignore the lines draw by google(google drawn line do not seem to reflect the map in this article, sometime the line follow disputed territory, sometime it follow LAC, sometime google just do their own thing). what I want to look at isn't the line google drew, but the visible road that exist, those road can show us who is in control. I am not going to go into argument over where the LAC should be, wiki is not a place for original research. rather this is just to remind and point out while editing this article, that alot of it is just narrative and not factual. and should be present as such.

why there is this confusion may come from the fact that both side actually allow the other side to patrol their side of the LAC, and that the ability to patrol does not mean it is in their side of the LAC. i suspect that alot of these inaccuries comes from the media not understanding and realising the arrangement of the LAC. but this is just speculation. again this is written only to make people aware that there maybe issues. 2406:3003:2060:3135:ED23:A7EE:6BBE:3C1C (talk) 22:33, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
