LAC and LOC - Full form and Explanation | India China Issue

    LAC and LOC 


LAC and LOC are both similar words. In which it is natural to have a confusion

But these two words have quite different meanings.

The LAC Line Of Control is the de facto boundary line between India and China. For some time, tensions between China and India have been increasing.

LOC means Line of Control (Line of Control or Line of Control). Apart from this, to understand LAC and LOC, it is also necessary to have knowledge about international border.

LAC, LOC and International Line These are the names of three types of borders from which India has long been associated. You have heard their names often but many people will not be aware of the real definition of these lines. Let us tell you what are these three lines or borders.


LOC -Line Of Control Line of Control                

The LOC Line of Control is the 740-km-long border line drawn between India and Pakistan. This line is the boundary line drawn between India and Pakistan, the borderline between India and Pakistan, the subject of dispute between the two countries. It extends to Jammu and Kashmir and POK Pakistan Occupied Kashmir in India. Its length is 776 km. The present Line of Control was drawn to the then control situation by stopping the war between the two countries here in 1947, which is almost the same even today. Then Pakistan was attacked in many parts of Kashmir and Indian forces came forward to protect Kashmir. 

Pakistan attacked India occupied Kashmir from 21–22 October 1947. He named it "Operation Gulmarg". 35,000 to 40,000 people of Jammu and Kashmir were killed in this attack. 

Not only this, on October 26, again attacking Baramulla killed 11000 residents there. Sheikh Abdullah told the United Nations of the United Nations about the genocide by Pakistan in Jammu and Kashmir in 1948 after the Mohra power station in Srinagar was destroyed. 

The United Nations created a Line of Control LOC between the two countries by conducting a cease-fire.

In the northern part, the Indian Army had overtaken the Pakistan Army from the Kargil sector to the Srinagar-Leh highway. In 1965 Pakistan again invaded but the fighting was stalled, which led to the status quo of 1971. In 1971, in response to the Bangladesh War, Pakistan again invaded Kashmir, which led both countries to control each other's posts on both sides of the Line of Control. India received approximately 300 square miles of land from the Ladakh region in the northern part of the Line of Control. The Line of Control was restored after peace talks as a result of the Simla Agreement on 3 July 1972.


LAC (Line of Actual Control or Line of Actual Control)

Unlike the Line of Control, the Line of Actual Control is the actual boundary line between India and China. This line separates India's controlled area and China controlled territory line. Both India and China have different perceptions about LAC. India considers the length of LAC to be 3488 kilometers while China assumes its length to be 2000 kilometers. This boundary line separates India Authorized Area in Jammu and Kashmir and China Authorized Area Aksai China. It passes through Ladakh, Kashmir, Uttarakhand, Himachal, Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh. It is also a kind of seas fire (ceasefire) line because after the India-China war of 1962, where the forces of the two countries were stationed, it was considered as the Line of Actual Control.

The LAC region consists of mountains, rivers, glaciers and icy deserts.


International border international border

The international border is the boundary line between two countries, on which the rest of the world including those countries have agreed. Like the borderline that was drawn under the Simla Agreement of 1914 between Britain and Tibet, it is also the boundary line between India and China today. Whereas the international border line drawn between India and Pakistan in August 1947 is known as Redcliffe Line.
