(full name: '''Gelomoring'''){{sfnp|Upper Subansiri District Census Handbook|2011|p=79}}
is a border village in the [[Upper Subansiri district]], [[Arunachal Pradesh]], India. It is on the bank of the [[Tsari Chu]] river before its confluence with the [[Subansiri River]], at a distance of "two days march" from the Indian claimed border at [[Longju]].<ref name=Nehru/> The present [[Line of Actual Control]] between China and India is at roughly half that distance.

== Gelemo village ==
Gelemo is in [[Limeking Circle]] of the [[Upper Subansiri district]], one of the border areas adjoining the [[China–India border]]. The [[Tsari Chu]] river that flows here originates in Tibet, flows east up to [[Migyitun]], traditionally considered a Tibetan border town, and turns south-southeast until its confluence with the [[Subansiri River]] at [[Gelensiniak]].

Gelemo has a population of 40 people living in 11 households, as per the 2011 census.{{sfnp|Upper Subansiri District Census Handbook|2011|p=88}}

The Indian Army has set up a primary school in the Gelemo village called Sawaiman Primary School, named after the battalion that constructed it (the Sawaiman battalion of the [[Rajputana Rifles]]).<ref name="Telegraph">

== History ==
After the [[Longju incident]] in 1959, the [[Assam Rifles]] border troops stationed at Longju retreated to Gelemo and set up a post there.<ref name="Kavic">

The present [[Line of Actual Control]] is believed to run between Maja and the Chinese border post at Xingqiangpu Zhang.

The [[Border Roads Organisation]] of India completed the road link between Tame Chung Chung and Maja in 2018. During its construction, Gelemo served as a construction base with all the construction equipment air lifted to Gelemo.<ref>
