In the video the ITBP jawans can be heard chanting patriotic slogans like Bharat Mata Ki Jai and Vande Mataram as they walk around the Pangong Tso lake.
This celebration by the ITBP jawans comes at a time when India is locked in a border standoff with China at the lake after the latter's unprovoked aggression.
The Chinese army is reportedly yet to disengage from the region and India has made it clear that it will not move back until China disengages from the site.
