New Delhi, July 15: While phase one of the de-escalation took place smoothly, phase-II is expected to be a tough affair.
Sources familiar with the developments tell OneIndia that the first phase was relatively smoother as the Line of Actual Control is less contested in the Hot Springs, Galwan Valley and Gogra. It may be recalled that the two armies pulled back by around 2.5 kilometres each and created buffer and no patrolling zones.
