Mike - I take this comment of yours with the spirit in which it was said - Humour. That's ok by me. Even if we agree that you have been in the Indian Army (according to you), it's highly unlikely that this kind of top secret information would be shared with the ranks and file in any Army. Quite probably, officers in the lower rungs might just be handed over the instructions just for deployment. I don't think it's a practice in any Army to give details about top secret operations etc to everyone. So, your argument that since you have 'been there and seen all' stands negated.
I'm no longer in touch with this friend but know someone who is. I'll call him some time this week and see what I can find out. I'm optimistic about getting more details as this other friend has a memory like an elephant and loves a good story too. Thanks for the star.

let me clarify that I was not in the ‘rank and file’ of the Army! Senior Army officers are obviously privy to what the heck’s going on in their area of responsibility, which in my case was more than a hundred kilometers along the I-C border. Add to this, friends of neighboring brigades and the area of responsibility adds up to a thousand kilometers!

Now since you had many square kilometers of area under your close observation - I have another question for you. Can you please tell us a little bit about the 'no-mans' land there? Is it patrolled by both the armies?
And like you have said in your post above, is it likely that there is something going on, on the Chinese side of the border? What’s your opinion? Did you guys ever hear sounds which looked strange? Did your electronic equipments show unwarranted receptions at any time?
Can you also please ask your friends to tell about the local legends related to the place?
In Leh, Ladakh, according to Tsering Spalzang, a senior
official, any paranormal activities are happening with the
knowledge of the Indian Army. There are zones that Indian
Army and Air Force block for security reasons.
The Ladakh valley is heavily secured by the Indian Government. It is a
sensitive area and no one is allowed in these sensitive
areas - neither from Indian side nor from Chinese side. The
terrain is such that it is impossible to find hidden
underground structures under massive mountains - you are
looking at core Himalayas.

Hello all, interesting subject. It would be nice if more time was spent digging up whatever possible rather than discounting something because of 'who' ran the story.

I'am planning to travel to the place. I'am applying for my visa and hopefully should be there by 20th of this month.
My plan is to do the following:
1. Meet up with the locals and with the help of an interpreter, take down my own notes and also record the original testimonies.
2. Meet up(informally) with the Indian Army personnel(if allowed) and try to gather more information on the subject. This will be crucial as the original news article has quoted Indian Army Officials.
3. Take photos of whichever areas of kongka la possible.
4. Find out the wherabouts of the Staff Reporter from India Daily and also try and find the sources quoted in the article.
Please help me in figuring out whether I need to add some more 'to dos' in this list.I have planned a ten day trip.
