Indian Army convoy heading towards Leh
The entire Galvan Valley is in the western section of the India-China border on the Line of Actual Control towards China. For many years, Chinese soldiers have been patrolling the area.
Since April this year, in the Galvan Valley on the Line of Actual Control, the Indian Army has unilaterally built roads, bridges and other hideouts.
China complained many times, but India took more provocative action and crossed the LAC.
On the morning of 6 May, the Indian troops stationed at the border crossing the LAC, who crossed the LAC into the Chinese territory at night, planted barricades and made fortifications that obstructed the patrolling of Chinese troops stationed along the border.
Indian troops deliberately took provocative actions and changed the status quo of management and control.
The Chinese soldiers were forced to take necessary steps to deal with the situation and to strengthen their management and control over the land.
India and China negotiated military and diplomatic channels to reduce tension. In response to the strong demands of China, India agreed to recall its troops crossing the LAC and demolish the targets built. India did this as well.
On 06 June, both sides held commander-level talks and agreed to reduce tensions. The Indian side agreed that it would not cross the Galvan River and both sides would withdraw troops in a phased manner through meetings between commanders on the ground.
But on the night of 15 June, the Indian troops on the border crossed the LAC once again, violating the agreement reached at the commander level meeting. When tensions in the Galvan valley were subsiding, they deliberately acted as provocation.
The Chinese soldiers and officers who went to them for talks, they violently attacked them, which caused fierce violence and people were killed.
This audacious action by the Indian Army has weakened the stability of the border area, jeopardized the lives of Chinese soldiers, violated the agreement between the two sides on the border dispute and violated the basic principles of international relations. .
China has put its side before India and strongly opposed it.
In a telephonic conversation with India’s External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, Foreign Minister Wang Yi has asked India to seriously investigate the incident, punish those who are responsible and discipline Indian troops on the border and All abetment operations should be stopped immediately so that such incidents do not happen again.
There will also be a second meeting between the commanders to improve the situation on the ground soon. Both sides will work in a just manner to deal with the grave situations arising after the skirmish in the Galvan Valley, will follow the agreement reached at the Commander level meeting and calm the situation as soon as possible and under the agreement so far Will establish peace in the border region.
