Chinese forces encroached Sumdorong Chu valley and dug in to prepare to stay through the winter of 1986. To counter, Indian Army between September and October embarked on ‘Operation Falcon’, which involved the occupation of ridges overlooking the Sumdorong Chu valley, including Langrola and the Hathung La ridge across the Namka Chu rivulet, that fell on the south of Thag La.
The Indian Army then airlifted a Brigade from the 5 Mountain Division to Zemithang and occupied the ridges dominating the Sumdorong Chu.
