TrangaBellam, I don't think your condensation of the History section helps. The first sentence has three footnotes associated with it, a key citation to KNAB for coordinates went into one of those footnotes. More importantly, we can't downgrade "Domtsang" in this manner. It has a tradition going back a 1000 years, and most likely the name by which the Tibetans still refer to the falls.
"Yangtse", on the other hand, is a problematic term, because it has been applied to the "plateau", the valley up to Tsechu etc. I haven't seen a precise definition of what it actually means. Also, when The Print says, India did not "occupy" Yangtse till 1987, it means that it didn't station troops there, not that it didn't "stake a claim". I believe that the original border (the McMahon Line as interprted by Survey of India) ran between the northern part of the falls indicated by our coordinates, and the southern section where the prayer hall has been built. So, even if we think "Yangtse" means the falls area, it was split between the two countries. -- Kautilya3 ( talk) 14:52, 19 December 2022 (UTC)
[J]ournalist Praveen Swami states that the falls were visited by tourists from both the sides till the 1980s— being an absolute misrepresentation of the source.

Teschu, the local hamlet, is just metres from the LAC, and it was common for visitors from both countries to photograph each other.How do you photograph each other unless you are in visible distance?
Moreover, we learn in Padma bka' thang (1993 [1352]: 607) that Padmasambhava stayed for a number of years in the Eastern Himalayas. In the mythographic representation, Padmasambhava visited a number of sites and the following regions in Mon were considered to have been blessed by him: Mon Sgom brag phug, Mon Bkra shis khye 'dren, Mon Sha 'ug stag sgo [Shauk Tago], Mon Dom tshang rong [Domtsangrong],[106] Mon gzig tshang rong, Mon kha Bum thang,[107] and Mon kha Spa gro, and so forth.[108]
Domtsang is far significant than the falls. TrangaBellam ( talk) 20:47, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

I presume you have come across this. TrangaBellam ( talk) 19:19, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
I don't think there are any new facts other than what we report.
