Amidst Doklam standoff, is China building a bridge in Ladakh?

Efforts to activate diplomatic channels have failed from both sides.

Amidst the Doklam standoff, reports surfaced that China has started building a bridge in Ladakh. It was reported that a bridge was coming up at the no-man's land in Ladakh.

However sources in the government said that no such activity has been reported. The Chinese are not building any bridge at the no-man's land in Ladakh, the source also informed OneIndia.

Meanwhile at Doklam there is a status-quo, the official also added. He said that there has been no build up or escalation of tension at the standoff point. It is status quo out there, the source further confirmed.

While there has been no solution at Doklam as yet, the Indian Army has been asked to stay on very high alert. The alert is not restricted to Doklam alone, but to the entire area where India shares its border with China. An operational alert has been sounded in Arunachal Pradesh with intelligence suggesting that China may try engage in a skirmish here.

Efforts to activate diplomatic channels have failed from both sides. China continues to insist that India pulls out of Doklam first. India has however rejected the demand and says that any pull out will only be simultaneous.
