Chinese camps build-up has been spotted in Pangong Tso region of Galwan valley, eastern Ladakh in the Line of Control (LAC) after new satellite images accessed by Maxar Technologies surfaced. These images have surfaced after China agreed to disengage in the Galwan Valley after military commander-level talks between the two countries. Images show China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) camps in the Galwan Valley and several other friction points in LAC, the border between India and China. The development has surfaced after India-Chian military commanders agreed to disengage their forces in the disputed area of the Himalayas following a clash on June 15 that left at least 20 Indian soldiers dead. The Indian Army had said that China also suffered over 40 casualties. The agreement to disengage after commander-level talks was reached on Wednesday.
According to PTI, Chinese military has also deployed a sizeable number of its troops in Galwan Valley, the site of the violent clashes on June 15.
The erection of a surveillance post by China in the area had triggered the clashes. However, Chinese troops have again put up some structure around patrolling point 14 in the area, notwithstanding India's stiff opposition, they said.
