[...] Unlike a majority of areas along the 4,000 km long Line Of Actual Control (LAC) as perceived by India, Chumar is one sector where the Chinese do not enjoy the benefit of access. The reason for that is the lack of road development and terrain which acts as an impediment for the former. It is not that the Indian side has it all developed but owing to the presence of dirt tracks and a not-so rocky terrain means vehicles can move. From Demchok in the north to Chumar in the south, the movement is not very difficult for us. But for the Chinese troops, perhaps used to double lane highways almost along the entire length of LAC the road seems too ardous.
