Apart from shepherds I doubt anything is over there except military infrastructure & a all weather Highway. It is now part of Xinjiang Autonomous region. Have to look at if there is any mining activity in vast Xinjiang. diga 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These lands were lost prior to 1962 & no battles happened hereg... Only after the construction of G219 highway we came to know it was gone. Still Nehru/Menon should have negotiated or exchanged some portions... Coz Chinese wouldn't have given up on Their lifeline by mere aggressive gestures. Ended up being a Himalayan blunder.

If something valuable appears in that zone, its anyones guess, what will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
