You cannot travel on Darbuk–Shyok–DBO Road without permission. Permission which you won’t get as a civilian.

All defence forces have been vaccinated if I'm not mistaken.

All defence forces have been vaccinated if I'm not mistaken.

First dose is completed 100%, second dose is nearly 80% rolled out already

First dose is completed 100%, second dose is nearly 80% rolled out already

Frontline warriors (infantry/artillery regt, pilots, sailors etc.) are 100% vaccinated with a second dose completed on a priority basis.

China seems to be making an asphalt road till the last point of Hotspring which they occupied and never went back.
Seems like it is an unspoken understanding now that we have accepted their demands.

Still, land acquisition has not completed for the Bilaspur leh railway line. such a slow process

Speed up land acquisition: Centre to Himachal

The Centre has asked the state government to expedite land acquisition for the remaining four phases of the Pathankot-Mandi fourlane project.

Bilaspur leh project UPDATE: only one tunnel is constructed, they are expecting to finish this project by 2025. But I doubt that

Is India's military exercise with Kyrgyzstan part of its bigger outreach in Central Asia?


Seen in isolation, Khanjar-VIII, the name of the manoeuvres, may not mean much. But when clubbed with China's long shadow over the region, which has discomforted both Russia, the traditional heavyweight, and India, which is anxious that its deep cultural ties with Central Asia may soon be eroded under Beijing's influence, it acquires an altogether different meaning. It is apparent that China's push into Central Asia has alarmed both Moscow and New Delhi, opening the door for greater collaboration with each other.



This Russia-led military partnership includes Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Armenia, Belarus, with Afghanistan and Serbia thrown in as observers. CSTO has a 20,000 strong Collective Rapid Reaction Force, including 4,000 troops earmarked for Central Asia to address emergent situations. The organisation also has a collective peacekeeping force, which includes an estimated 3,500 soldiers along with 800-plus civilian police officers.


Given Russia's anxieties about China, Moscow may not be averse to an Indian engagement in some form with the CSTO. Russia's fears run deep about China, a country that fought a border war with Russia in 1969. China also bonded with the Americans to bring down the former Soviet Union by supporting the anti-Soviet campaign in Afghanistan in the eighties. Of late, US sanctions and policy of "regime change" by the Atlantic Alliance have persuaded Moscow to strike a close relationship with China. But beneath the surface layers of mistrust continue to simmer.


It is therefore quite likely that the Russians are supporting India's participation in Khanjar-VIII with Kyrgyzstan, a fellow-CSTO member, to enrich a broader partnership that can stand up to China, which is rapidly expanding its pan-Eurasian influence under its Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).

Is India's military exercise with Kyrgyzstan part of its bigger outreach in Central Asia?

By Atul Aneja New Delhi, Apr 29 (IANS): India and Kyrgyzstan, a tiny but picturesque Central Asian nation, known for its idyllic lakes and mountains, have just concluded a joint military exercise. Seen in isolation, Khanjar-VIII, the name of the manoeuvres, may not mean much. But when clubbed...

Yep. The road seems like a black line, similar to what I have observed as asphalt roads. If you notice other roads around, they are not black, but lighter color of soil (faded orange-yellowish)
