Prime Minister Narendra Modi and China
President Xi Jinping endorsed the agreement
on patrolling and disengagement along the
LAC in eastern Ladakh.
This was ahead of their recent bilateral
meeting on the sidelines of the BRICS
Summit in Kazan in Russia.
The border standoff between India and China
began in eastern Ladakh along the LAC
in 2020 (Galwan clash), sparked by Chinese
military actions.
The agreement has been arrived at on
patrolling arrangements along the line of
actual control at Depsang and Demchok and
this is leading to the dis-engagement.
The patrolling will be done by armed
personnel and structures to be dismantled
include temporary sheds and tents
