Maybe landslide somewhere ??

wikipedia says the river starts from a glacier in tawang district inside India
Yes natural causes are more likely, and the river originates in the glacier/mountains at the border (East Kameng though not Tawang), so it's not a transnational river.

Never the less, I did check Sentinel ,there is activity on the other side of the mountain ridge - might just be Chinese being Chinese and building roads everywhere.

For example this road at 27.9832445/92.637988 did not exist 6 months ago. They are probably building roads right up to the Glacier region, but doubt they can come to our side, the lowest saddle at ~5300m altitude in this region (from a quick check of G Earth). Maybe they are afraid of Yetis invading from the glaciers? 🤷‍♀️

Also a couple of things have come up in the past few months at 27.973235/92.495259 - some chicom wumao has marked that area as a "farm" in OSM 😁.

yea its most def a natural cause , glacial burst or something , probably due to global warming.

sucks that view is blocked by clouds , ☹ . may in few days , what happened will be visible

bottom pic maybe plantation or something ? , i cant tell

Ering believes the change in water quality is a result of the construction of a 10,000-kilometer tunnel in China which is diverting water from Siang to Xinjiang province of the Taklamakan desert. However, China has denied all the claims.

10,000-kilometer tunnel


🤣 diameter of earth is 10000 km , they are diverting water through the earth to other end ??

i think that was also due to a glacial burst in tibet . dont know details

LOL , people of Ladakh and AP fucking hate the chinese , they put all blame on China no matter what.

Visit border states & villages (Ladakh, Uttrakhand, Arunachal Pradesh), even countries (Nepal, Bhutan), every person hates China or has some conspiracy theory against China.

Only Pakistan is the only country (or maybe North Korea because they sometimes give them food) like China.

Here's the sauce:
The current standoff has been a boon for the PLA. So many of their shortcomings both in equipment and training which were previously not brought into the limelight due to the overall nature of LAC are now on the forefront being addressed rapidly.

Despite having good infrastructure new highways and roads have been built along the LAC in greater numbers to increase retention and survivability across the border.

The inability to match IAF in deployment and sortie levels is now being addressed with rapid construction of new airfields across the border and moving in more squadrons and rotating them on a regular basis.

The restructuring of armored and mechanized divisions to infantry centric divisions backed by artillery and light tanks keeping in leu the terrain and infrastructure seems to have helped them manage their deployment time in a much better and faster way.

Constant rotation of troops while pushing in more and more men into depth areas to acclimatize them and prepare them towards mountain warfare with increasing number of exercises seems to be the new norm.

Overall i feel that there was a very real possibility of PLA facing major setbacks due to being caught off guard had a major skirmish or war taken place last year. A lot of these issues have now been dealt with completely or to a great extent.

This is also true for India with the current infrastructure boom taking place along our borders and the induction of new technologies albeit only in small numbers.

We always had a edge in mountain warfare so that was never really an issue for us but for PLA it has helped them do some catching up.
