Q. Line of Actual Control (LAC), which was seen in the news, is the demarcation that separates India from which country?
Answer:
China
Notes: The External Affairs Minister recently stated that 75% of the military disengagement issues with China in eastern Ladakh have been resolved. The Line of Actual Control (LAC) separates Indian-controlled territory from Chinese-controlled territory. Though not an official border, it acts as a de facto border between India and China. India considers the LAC to be 3,488 km long, while China sees it as around 2,000 km. It is divided into three sectors: eastern (Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim), middle (Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh), and western (Ladakh). The LAC remains a source of tension due to differing perceptions of its boundary.
