Inside India’s First Line Of Defence At Lipulekh’s Y-Junction Along The LAC

Exclusive reports from the Line of Actual Control, straight from Lipulekh Pass, near the India–China–Nepal tri-junction. At the strategically crucial Y-Junction, one of the forward-most Indian Army posts, soldiers stand as the first line of defence in extreme terrain. Battling thin oxygen, freezing temperatures, and harsh living conditions, the Indian Army remains fully prepared. Beyond border security, the Army is also building critical roads and bridges, aiding troop mobilisation and supporting pilgrims heading to Kailash Mansarovar. In unforgiving geography, India’s soldiers guard the nation round the clock.
