The report indicated the construction of underground bunkers for storing weapons and fuel, as well as fortified shelters for armored vehicles at a key base in the region.

In response, the BJP countered, stating that the area in question, Sirijap, was attacked and seized by Chinese troops on October 21, 1962, during the tenure of Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru.
