New Delhi, June 11: The situation along the Line of Control has calmed down considerably, with both India and China engaging in dialogue. The cool down began following the Lt. General level talks that were held on Saturday.
Contrary to reports there is no standoff between the Indian and Chinese troops at Arunachal Pradesh. On December 28 some locals informed the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) about some Chinese undertaking track alignment activity around 1 kilometre inside the Line of Actual Control.
Despite resolving the Doklam standoff, the Armies of India and China did not hold the traditional border personnel meeting at the five designated places along the 4,057 km long Line of Actual Control.
India and China are likely to hold a flag meeting to discuss the border skirmishes after yesterday’s clashes at Ladakh in which the soldiers from both sides pelted stones at each other.
