As an public domain article put out by retired Lt. General Panag in the Print, that Indian military position on the North LAC close to DBO post, Despang etc. Is quite hopeless. India road connecting DBO to Leh runs precariously close to LAC including Chinese proposal of 1959 proposal line. It’s hopelessness is high lighted as the road at Galwan and other places is only 5 to 7 Km away. A determined Chinese effort along the Rikki Nallaha (hard to pinpoint on the map where this Nallaha is), Chinese can cut off the new road. That means Indian position there is precarious here.
PM Narendra Modi has both popularity and political skill. Will he bite the bullet and convince Indians about unpalatable strategic decisions?

The general states that only comfortable position the Indian Army is in the Chusul sector on Kailash range, where India has occupied all the heights.
If the Chinese try to exploit the northern sector to cut off the DBO, then it should be an Indian retaliatory move to extend further and capture more heights in Chinese disputed area and get as close or cut off their supply line in the southern sector.
It is a theory whether Chinese can invade to cut off DBO or India move to capture as much as possible of Kailash range to cut off their supply line, if it is possible or not. That is a good issue to talk about.
