India is strengthening its military presence near the Himalayan border with China as part of preparations for a possible future conflict, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal.
Since the deadly clashes between Indian and Chinese troops in 2020, New Delhi has accelerated construction projects in the region. These include new roads, tunnels, airstrips, and military facilities close to the disputed border areas.
