'''Sirijap''' is a small plain in the southern part of the [[Aksai Chin]] region which is controlled by China but claimed by India. It is on northern bank of the [[Pangong Tso]].<br />
<br />
India had established three posts in Sirijap prior to the [[Sino-Indian War]] in 1962. between April 1960 and October 1962. Chinese forces defeated these posts on 21 October 1962 after encountering fierce resistance.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Singh|first1=edited by Jasjit|title=China's India War, 1962 : looking back to see the future|date=15 March 2013|publisher=KW Publishers in association with Centre for Air Power Studies|location=New Delhi|isbn=978-93-81904-72-5|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=p026DQAAQBAJ&pg=PT89|access-date=2 October 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|last1=Thapliyal|first1=SV|title=Battle of Eastern Ladakh : 1962 Sino-Indian Conflict|journal=Journal of the United Service Institution of India|date=2005|volume=135|issue=560|pages=282–298|url=http://usiofindia.org/Article/?pub=Journal&pubno=560&ano=482}}</ref><br />
<br />
After the war, a [[Line of Actual Control]] (LAC) has come into being, which in India's view, runs to the left of the Sirijap plain at a shore point called "Finger 8". China claims the LAC to be further west at "Finger 4". The area between the two fingers continues to be patrolled by the [[Indo-Tibetan Border Police|Indian border police]].<br />
<br />
In May 2013, it was report that China had constructed a metal-top road in the area leading up to Finger 4. The Indian army claims to have used the road to patrol the area.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/news/china-constructs-5-km-road-crossing-lac/article4753165.ece |title=China constructs 5 km road crossing LAC |newspaper=The Hindu |date=26 May 2013}}</ref><br />
