Talk:Hot Springs, Chang Chenmo Valley

Hot Springs confusions

There is actually Wenquan (Chinese: 温泉; lit. 'hot spring') on the Chinese side as well. Some people mistaken the two, like the map on page 45 of Indian Police Journal special issue. In addition, there is a hot spring few kilometers northwest mentioned in historical documents. Not counting the all the tourists hot springs closer to Leh. --Voidvector (talk) 08:39, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

CRPF

@Voidvector:, this edit isn't right. There is no connection between ITBP and the CRPF. CRPF is really an internal security police, mostly used for riot control. It looks CRPF was manning the Hot Springs location in late 1950s, when there was a Chinese attack. But I am sure the government would have replaced it by some proper units later on. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 13:09, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

This looks like a detailed coverage of the 1959 incident. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 13:12, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

I read an article (like the one you linked) that used CRPF instead of ITBP, so I added it. The first line of Indo-Tibetan Border Police wiki article said ITBP is part of CRPF. I can do some more digging when I get a chance. --Voidvector (talk) 21:35, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

Ah, it says "Central Armed Police Forces". That is just a grouping of various police forces, not a force in itself. I will revise at accordingly. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 21:41, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
