Meanwhile, in 2021, a reorganisation was carried out with reorientation of the Mathura-based 1 (Strike) Corps to share the tasking with the new Panagarh-based 17 Mountain Corps to guard the LAC with China. One Corps was guarding the border with Pakistan.About the reasons for the change, sources said it was being done to counter the Chinese aggression along the LAC.The Army since then has effected a precautionary deployment all along the LAC. It included the Middle Sector, especially in Uttarakhand, which is made of four valleys, starting with Harshil, Mana, Niti and Barahoti.The push for the plan, sources said, came from Army commanders. “Lt Gen RC Tiwari, Lt Gen JP Mathews and Lt Gen NS Rajasubramani have been in favour of the plan,” said a source, adding, “In the case of the XVIII Corps, there may be initially a Division and few Brigades.” He said this might be increased to two in future.
