The Chinese Army moved tens of thousands of tonnes of military vehicles and hardware into the remote mountainous Tibet region after the standoff with Indian troops in the Doka La area in the Sikkim sector, the mouthpiece of the PLA said yesterday.


The vast haul was transported to a region south of the Kunlun Mountains in northern Tibet by the Western Theatre Command, which oversees the restive regions of Xinjiang and Tibet, and handles border issues with India, reported the PLA Daily, the official mouthpiece of Chinese military.


Early this week, state-run CCTV had broadcast People's Liberation Army troops taking part in heavy military exercises using live ammunition on the Tibetan plateau.

The location was not far from the disputed Doka La area where Chinese and Indian troops are locked in a standoff.

The PLA Daily report, however, did not say whether the movement of the military equipment was to support the exercise or for other reasons.
