Gelensiniak,[a] or Geling Sinyik,[3] is a village in the Limeking Circle of the Upper Subansiri district in Arunachal Pradesh, India, close to the region's border with Tibet. The Gelen[4] or Gelling[5] river (called Tsari Chu in Tibet) flows down from Migyitun and Longju and joins the Subansiri River here. Gelensiniak is strategically located between Longju, Taksing and Limeking. The region is populated by the Mara clan of Tagin people.[b]
Behind Gelensiniak, on a vertical cliff top is a flat area known as Tame Chung Chung ("place of snakes",[7] abbreviated TCC),[c] which hosts military camps for Indian border troops. Until road access to the Tame Chung Chung was built by the Border Roads Organisation in 2018, the camps were supplied only by helicopters.[8][9][10] Distance of India-China Border Road constructed in 2018 from Gelensiniak (Tama Chung Chung) to Taksing is 80 km.[11]
