CHINESE SURROUND
POST IN NEFA

Shiilong, Sept. 13
For the fifth day today
the Assam Rifles platoon,
which is under a junior
commissioned officer, held"
out in the outpost at
Thagla surrounded on
three sides by Chinese
troops within 300 yardB
of it, according to unofficial
information received here.

The Chinese have
strongly reinforced them-
selves in order to hold
on to the area during the
winter, which will set in
a month. Thagta, which
is at a point where the
borders of India, Bhutan
and Tibet meet, is at a
height of about 10,000 ft.

It is learnt that the
Chinese moved into the
area arouod Thagla at
about 2-30 p.m. on Sun-
day afternoon.

The Chinese crossed
a culvert to get within
l-ioO yards of the post.
The strength of the intru«
ders haa been variously
estimated a t different
stages. At first they were
estimated to be 300, later
600 and today they were
sa d to be as many as 12,00.
The curious fact aboufc
the&e- estimates is that
they are from civil intel-
ligence sources and not
directly from the post.
Thagla ia well provisioned
for a month.

cautionary measure, but
