China has reportedly initiated major military construction activities in Aksai Chin, a region claimed by India to be its integral part. The activities involve the carving of tunnels and the creation of shafts along a narrow river valley located to the east of the Line of Actual Control (LAC). The Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) is also building fortified shelters and bunkers to house its soldiers and hide weaponry, NDTV reported, citing satellite imagery from space tech company Maxar.
