After several round discussions, both sides pitched for peace, Chinese and Indian troops have started disengaging south of Pangong Tso as a first step towards resolving the nine-month military standoff along the Line of Actual Control in eastern Ladakh.
As per settlement, Chinese troops will pull back from Finger 4 to east of Finger 8 on the Pangong north bank. They had come in 8 km west of Finger 8 which India says marks the LAC. Indian troops will be stationed at Dhan Singh Thapa Post near Finger 3. For the time being, the stretch separating them will be a no-patrolling zone.
Confirming the start of the process on the north and south banks of Pangong Tso, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh told both Houses of Parliament Thursday that China and India have reached an agreement. Both sides will cease their forward deployments in a phased, coordinated and verified manner.
