India Deploys Specialised Mountain Forces To Check China’s LAC Transgression
India Has Deployed Its Specialised High Altitude Warfare Forces Along The 3,488 Km Line Of Actual Control (LAC) To Repel Any Transgression By The Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) In Either Western, Middle Or Eastern Sectors.
Top Government Sources Confirmed That Indian Army Has Been Directed To Safeguard The LAC From Any Cross-Border Aggression By The PLA, Which Is Showing Hostile Intent By Amassing Troops In A Bid To Cow Down The Narendra Modi Government.
It Is Understood That Specialised Forces Trained Over The Past Decades For Fighting On The Northern Front Have Been Pushed Up To The Frontier To Impose Military Costs If The Red Flag Goes Up. Unlike The PLA Which Moves In Infantry Combat Vehicles And Paved Metalled Roads To Move, The Indian Mountain Troops Are Trained In Guerrilla Warfare And Fighting In High Altitude As Shown By Them In Kargil War.

“The Art Of Mountain Fighting Is The Toughest As The Cost Of Human Casualties Is 10 To Each Troop Of The Adversary Sitting On A Height. The Troops From Uttarakhand, Ladakh, Gorkha, Arunachal And Sikkim Have Adapted To The Rarefied Heights Over Centuries And Hence Their Capability Of Fighting Is Close Quarter Combats Is Without Match. The Artillery And The Missiles Have To Have Pin-Pointed Accuracy Or Else They Miss The Mountain Target By Miles,” Said A Former Indian Army Chief.
The Other Thing That Works For The Army Is That The Tibetan Plateau Is Flat On The Chinese Side While The Indian Side Starts From K2 Peak In Karakoram, To Nanda Devi In Uttarakhand, To Kanchenjung In Sikkim And Namche Barwa Across Arunachal Pradesh Border. “In Mountains, It Is Not Only Difficult To Capture Territory But More Difficult To Hold It,” A China Expert With South Block Said.
While India Has Noted With Appreciation The Voices Coming Out In Its Support From The Trump Administration, Including The President Himself, The Mood In Delhi Is More Like “Atmanirbhar (Self-Reliant) Bharat” With No Intent Of Asking Anyone For Military Or Diplomatic Support. “I Have My Battalions Lined Up With Armoured Personnel Carriers And Artillery. India Will Not Instigate Or Precipitate Any Skirmish But Will Reply To Any Transgression. The Days Of LAC Nibbling Are Over. This Is A Battle Of Nerves And India Is Prepared To Wait, Come Snow Come Sunshine,” Said A Senior Minister.

The Modi Government Is Very Unhappy That The Chinese President Xi Jinping Broke All The “Peace And Tranquility” Promises By Not Reining His Favourite PLA Western Theatre Commander Gen Zhao Zongqi, Who Is Insistent On Imposing 1960 Eastern Ladakh Map Based On Exaggerated Territorial Claims On India. This Map Where China Claims Territory Upto Kongka La Was Unveiled By Then Chinese Premier Chou En Lai.
Incidentally, Chou En Lai, The Premier During 1962 Conflict, Had Close Links With President Xi Jinping’s Family And Foreign Minister Wang Yi’s Wife Is The Daughter Of Secretary Of The Former Premier. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar Father K Subrahmanyam Was Involved In India’s War Effort As An Officer In The Defence Ministry.
It Was Only To Set Aside from this Historical Baggage that Prime Minister Narendra Modi Had Initiated The Wuhan And Chennai Understandings So That The Two Leaders Could Promote The Bilateral Relations Post-Doklam. It Is Quite Evident That President Xi Had No Such Plans And Has Used Tensions In East Ladakh To Divert Global Attention From Failure Of China To Alert The World About Coronavirus. In The Same Way, Another Paramount Leader Used The 1962 Conflict To Deflect Attention From The Famine, Due To Failure Of Great Leap Forward Movement, In Which Millions Of Chinese Died.

Train smarter, not harder: How taking occasional breaks from gym can revolutionise your fitness routine
Taking regular breaks from intense training, like deload weeks, helps your body recover, preventing fatigue and injury, and ultimately boosts fitness gains.
When it comes to getting fit, the idea of spending hours at the gym might come to mind, but many fitness experts argue that taking a “deload week” every six to eight weeks is actually key to improving your fitness gains. A deload week involves reducing the intensity of workouts to allow the body to recover from the fatigue and muscle damage caused by intense training.
While high-intensity training helps build strength and fitness, it can also lead to muscle strain, and without adequate recovery, these gains can’t fully materialise. Deload weeks give the body much-needed rest to repair and rebuild, ensuring continued progress.

Why recovery is key for muscle growth
According to an article by The Conversation, intense exercise can cause tiny tears in muscle fibres, leading to inflammation that requires rest or low-intensity exercise to heal. This inflammation is essential for muscle growth and fitness improvements. However, without proper recovery, muscles remain in a state of slight damage, preventing inflammation from resolving. This chronic state of inflammation can hinder muscle function, reducing oxygen efficiency and impairing performance. Giving muscles time to recover through rest ensures they repair properly and are primed for continued progress, setting us up for greater success in our fitness journey.
Many gymgoers fear taking time off and are worried it will lead to a loss of gains. However, research shows that muscle genes have a “memory imprint,” which keeps them in a semi-prepared state. This allows muscles to respond more quickly and effectively to future training, promoting growth after a rest period. Even after extended periods of reduced intensity, up to seven weeks, muscular fitness can be restored to prime condition—and in some cases, surpass previous levels. Interestingly, recovery can occur twice as fast as it took to reach peak fitness initially, even if some strength is lost.
Taking time off from intense training is crucial to prevent muscle soreness and avoid overtraining syndrome. Overtraining occurs when the body doesn’t get enough rest, leading to prolonged fatigue, decreased performance, and mood disturbances. Symptoms develop gradually, making overtraining difficult to recognize until it’s severe. Rest is essential to avoid these issues and ensure long-term progress in training.
Role of overtraining syndrome and deload weeks
Overtraining syndrome is challenging to quantify due to its vague symptoms. Studies suggest it may affect as few as 10% of elite athletes, though rates could climb to 60% among highly competitive individuals. Recovery is essential for both fitness and overall health. When engaging in heavy gym routines, it’s vital to incorporate sufficient recovery time into your workout plan. Unlike rest days, which involve little to no exercise once or twice a week, deload weeks feature lighter training at reduced intensity—typically about 50% fewer workouts or a 20% drop in workout intensity.
Both rest days and deload weeks are essential for recovery and crucial to improving fitness. It’s not about choosing one over the other—they complement each other. For instance, intense training for marathons, Ironman, or CrossFit competitions requires weekly rest days alongside scheduled deload weeks. However, for recreational gym-goers exercising 1–3 times weekly at a moderate intensity, the recovery from this routine is often sufficient without the need for additional deload weeks.
Fitness influencers recommend incorporating deload weeks into training schedules every 4–8 weeks, aligning closely with the expert advice of 4–6 weeks. However, it’s crucial to listen to your body and schedule deload weeks as needed. If your performance plateaus or worsens, it may signal time for a deload. Training plans should be flexible enough to allow rest when required. Deload weeks not only enhance performance but also support overall health.
