Galwan valley clash details
Answers
Answer:
The battle for territorial supremacy continues to define the bilateral ties between India and China over the past two months. With the relationship between the two countries hitting rock bottom since the Galwan Valley clash, Ladakh is now witness to a new form of warfare.
Commander-level talks to disengage and diplomatic pressures to ease out tensions along the Line of Actual Control seem to have fallen on deaf years after China reportedly set up a bigger and stronger camp at the Galwan clash site.
A bitter clash broke out between Indian Army jawans and Chinese People’s Liberation Army troops at Galwan Valley near Ladakh on the intervening night of June 15-16, leading to the death of 20 brave Indian soldiers.
Now, barely 10 days after that incident, satellite images have shown that the PLA has come back to the Patrolling Point-14 (PP-14) area in Galwan and set up a larger base with gun positions trained at the Indian side near the Y-junction of Shyok and Galwan rivers. The rivers are approximately 1 kilometre below PP-14 of the Indian side of LAC.
