Battle of Rezang La

Subject – History

Context – Revamped war memorial to open soon

Concept –

  • Defence Minister Rajnath Singh will inaugurate the revamped war memorial at Rezang La in eastern Ladakh.
  • The memorial, dedicated to those who laid down their lives in the Battle of Rezang La during the 1962 war, now includes the names of Army personnel who lost their lives in the violent clash at Galwan last year.

1962 battle of Rezang La – Rezang La was the site of a major battle of the 1962 Sino-Indian War, where a company of India’s 13 Kumaon battalion fought to the last man in an effort to block the Chinese PLA troops from crossing the ridge into the Chushul Valley.

2020 border standoff – During border standoff in summer, the Indian Army deployed troops along the Line of Actual Control south of the Pangong Tso, including at Rezang La and Rechin La.

  • This was said to give them a commanding view of the Spanggur Gap and China’s “Moldo sector” (the deployments around the Spanggur Lake).
