New Delhi, May 18

China is constructing another bridge across Pangong Tso, a 135-km wide glacial melt lake, in eastern Ladakh.

The bridge, the second one, is coming up in an area that is under China’s control while India disputes the alignment of the LAC in this region. India controls around 40 per cent of Pangong Tso.

Sources in India confirmed the development after a Twitter handle, specialising in geospatial intelligence research, put out a satellite imagery showing the bridge which will allow rapid deployment of tanks to south bank of the lake.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
