The newspaper attributed the same to former BJP member of parliament, Thupstan Chhewang, who represented Ladakh. He said that he had received information from locals living in forward areas along the LAC in Ladakh that Indian soldiers were living in tents and it was not adequate for them in sub-zero conditions.

The border situation is critical and the Chinese troops have not only further transgressed into our areas but they have also occupied prominent positions in Finger 2 and 3 of Pangong Tso, the report also said, while citing the former MP.
