Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh told the Parliament that India and China have reached an agreement for disengagement on the north and south banks of the Pangong Lake in eastern Ladakh.
Singh informed the Parliament that according to the agreement, the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) will keep its troops to the east of Finger 8 at the northern bank, and the Indian Army will move to its base near Finger 3.
“Our sustained talks with China have led to agreement on disengagement on the north and south banks of Pangong Lake. After this agreement, India-China will remove forward deployments in a phased, coordinated manner,” Singh said.
India and China have also agreed to stop their regular patrolling activities temporarily on the northern bank. The structures built on both sides after April 2020 will be removed.
