Army to Implement New Division for Ladakh Deployment. Sources reveal plans to raise 72 Division, initially under 17 Mountain Strike Corps, for eastern Ladakh. With 14,000-15,000 troops, existing personnel will be reorganized, and no additional recruitment is expected. The move signifies a focus shift from Pakistan to China; only 17 MSCs were previously China-oriented. Strike Corps, responsible for trans-border offense, includes Mathura's 1 Corps, Ambala's 2 Corps, Bhopal's 21 Corps, and 17 MSC in Panagarh. Reorganization part of J&K and Ladakh region changes."
