The Indian side has reportedly doubled its call for rations, which include clothing, shelter, tents, fuel and other tools required to face the harsh temperatures in the Himalayan region. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="76725494" title="India is ready for the ‘long haul’ with China until winter after the third round of military talks" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div> In order to try and speed up the process of disengagement on the border, senior diplomats from India and China are reportedly scheduled to hold a fresh meeting on July 24, Friday. Sources told <a href="https://www.livemint.com/news/india/senior-diplomats-of-india-and-china-likely-to-meet-on-friday-over-border-tension-11595481956776.html">LiveMint</a> that Chinese troops are yet to move back from Patrolling Point 17 (PP-17) and Finer 4 along the Pangong Tso Lake. Stocking up for winter The annual ‘advance winter stocking’ (AWS) exercise is underway but has more challenges to face than normal, officers told <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/with-chinese-troops-yet-to-disengage-army-stocks-up-for-harsh-ladakh-winter/articleshow/77117141.cms?from=mdr">The Times of India.</a> In addition to the uncertainty on the border, there are also more mouths to feed, the challenge of procuring the rations during COVID-19 and making sure that it all gets done before snowfall in November. After the violent clash between both sides on June 15, the Indian Army estimates that it needs to maintain its troops in the forward areas to ensure that Chinese Army doesn’t exploit the situation. Rationing supplies on the cards Just bringing in excess supplies may not be enough to manage the increased number of troops along the Line of Actual Control (LAC). The Indian Army is also looking over the ‘scale of rations’ that can be given out to soldiers. The usual amount allocated to each soldier is around 2.5 kilograms of ration per day. However, officials told <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/with-chinese-troops-yet-to-disengage-army-stocks-up-for-harsh-ladakh-winter/articleshow/77117141.cms?from=mdr">The Times of India</a> that if you cut the ‘frills’ out of the equation, the weight of the rations can be brought down to just 1.5 kilograms. Running short on time Another cause of concern is that even though there are more mouths to feed, the amount of time to get rations in place is restricted. The AWS exercise involves pre-positioning and stocking supplies in the forward locations before the snowfall sets in. Since most of the forward locations are over 15,000 feet in altitude, they will largely become inaccessible starting November. Normally, the Indian Army has around 150 days between the months to June to September to set up. This time around, due to the tensions with China along the border, the time has been cut short. The coronavirus pandemic has further complicated the acquisition of rations. Even before the advent of COVID-19, procuring special dehydrated rations in huge quantities was a challenge.

The region is expected to be up and operational by mid-2022. While the company did not disclose the financial details of the deal, Chandok highlighted that the impetus continues to be on creating highly skilled and well-paid jobs in the local economy. “The kind of roles we’re hiring for today includes data center engineers, support engineers, engineering operations managers, security specialists and many more,” he said. Three new AWS availability zones The new cluster of data centers will add another three availability zones to the three that already exist in India under the AWS Mumbai region. “This will fulfill the long term capacity needs of a country like India,” said Chandok. A region is a physical location where data centres are located. Availability zones, on the other hand, are the actual technology infrastructure in separate and distinct geographical regions. Three new availability zones mean that three different locations within Hyderabad will be scouted for setting up data centers. “Each availability zone is a fully isolated partition of the AWS global infrastructure. This means it is physically separate from any of the other availability zones by a meaningful distance,” explained Chandok. Why did AWS choose Hyderabad? Chandok highlighted that AWS chose Hyderabad for its new hub because of Telangana’s policies specifically targeted at the growth of IT and IT services in India. “Hyderabad is the city that’s home to several startups and enterprises with a skilled workforce today,” he said. It’s also about the location itself. The company explains that Hyderabad fits the parameters of latency, cost, availability, security and scalability. “There will lower latency to address the South India market,” said Rahul Sharma, the President for Public Sector at AISPL across India and South Asia.
