Indian soldiers are vigilantly posted on the India-China border and protect their respective countries. There have been many military clashes between india and china in the Galwan Valley. The Indo-Tibetan Border police and the indian army guard the border between india and China. After the standoff in eastern Ladakh, india has recently strengthened its military presence on the border. The border between india and china is called the LAC i.e. the Line of Actual Control. Recently, india has deployed 10,000 additional soldiers on this border. But do you know why the soldiers posted on the Chinese border do not keep weapons? Is there any rule behind this, let's find out.
Why do india and china not use weapons on the border?
About two years ago, a video of the India-China border surfaced, in which soldiers from both sides were seen scuffling and fighting with sticks. Then this question arose in the minds of the people that when lethal weapons like ballistic missiles, aircraft are present on the border, then why is our army attacking with sticks and batons instead of ammunition and modern weapons. Why don't we attack the Chinese soldiers with them, but in return china also does not use ammunition. Why?
What was the agreement between india and China?
There is a reason behind the use of sticks and batons on the India-China border. Actually, an agreement was signed between the two countries on 29 november 1996. Its name is Agreement between the government of the Republic and india and china on 'Confidence Measures in the Military Field Along the LAC in India-China Border Areas', that is, an agreement was signed between the two countries for measures to build confidence in the border areas of india and China.
