India, China Withdraw In Key Ladakh Areas With New Buffer Zones | Read
China will complete the withdrawal of its troops by 2 km in the contested Hot Springs area of eastern Ladakh by the end of the day. The Chinese have also withdrawn 2 km to their side of the Line of Actual Control in Galwan. The process of withdrawal in Gogra near Hot Springs will be completed tomorrow. India has also withdrawn an equal distance in all three areas and the buffer zone in between is meant to separate the soldiers of both sides. A future decision on patrolling in the region will be taken after the next round of military talks in less than two weeks from now.
