Why the Indian Army did not use firearms?
Answers
• Indian troops were armed. All troops on border duty always carry arms, especially when leaving the post.
• Those at Galwan too did carry arms. But, long-standing practice (as per 1996 & 2005 agreements) did not allow the use of firearms during faceoffs.
• The 1996 agreement is on Confidence-Building Measures in the Military Field along the Line of Actual Control in the India-China Border Areas.
• In Article 1: “the two sides will resolve the boundary question through peaceful and friendly consultations. Neither side shall use or threaten to use force against the other by any means”
• The 2013 Agreement on Border Defence Cooperation also stated that neither side shall use its military capability against the other.

Muscle cramps occur when there is anaerobic respiration taking place in our muscles. During anaerobic respiration, glucose gets converted into lactic acid which leads to lack of oxygen.
