Patrolling Begins Along LAC In Ladakh’s Depsang, Demchok After Over 4 Years


Indian and Chinese troops have started patrolling along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh after a gap of over four years, marking a massive de-escalation in border tensions sparked by a deadly clash between the two sides in 2020.

The soldiers patrolled areas in Depsang and Damchok on Thursday after informing the other side, a day after they completed military disengagement, in line with a patrolling agreement that they agreed to last week.

The soldiers also exchanged sweets yesterday at five locations on the LAC, including Chushul Maldo and Daulat Beg Oldi in Ladakh, on the occasion of Diwali.

Patrolling was stopped in Depsang and Damchok for about four and a half years after troops from the two sides clashed in Galwan Valley in June 2020, leading to the death of 20 Indian soldiers.
