While the meeting remained inconclusive more such meets are expected to take place in the near future. Additionally, Indian Army’s Northern Commander Lt Gen Y K Joshi was present at the 14 corps headquarters to oversee the talks and review operation preparedness.
It was reported earlier today that villagers living in the vicinity of the India-China border had claimed that there has been an unprecedented movement of troops and artillery on the Indian side.
The current standoff is a result of China’s aggressive posture along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in a bid to stop India from constructing strategic infrastructure like roads near the border. India though has ruled out stopping its road construction.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
