For years, Lopzang Dadul herded his yaks, sheep and goats across the vast, vertiginous landscape near India’s contested border with China, following the seasons to find grazing land.
All these areas are winter grazing areas of Chushul village.
He says 60 of the 113 households in his village used to be nomadic; now only 10 are maintaining the tradition due to those factors and lost grazing lands.
New Delhi says two sites remain contested along the Ladakh border after disengagement at other contested zones following the 2020 clash.
Reduced patrolling led to an ultimate loss of control over such areas, where China grabs land “inch-by-inch,” the report said.
