Army �holding� clash area, PLA blocking 8km Pangong stretch

(As reported by Times of India from New Delhi on Jun 21, 2020, 11:49 IST)

There is still some lack of clarity about the exact ground situation in the Galwan Valley region of eastern Ladakh. But there is little doubt that Chinese soldiers have built dozens of new fortifications and bunkers after physically occupying an almost 8-km stretch of what India considers its own territory along the Pangong Tso since early-May.
Chinese troops have also taken control of the heights to dominate �Finger-4 to 8� (mountainous spurs) area on the north bank of Pangong Tso, adroitly utilising the time when bilateral military talks were underway on the troop confrontations at Patrolling Points 14, 15 and 17 in the Galwan Valley and Gogra-Hot Springs areas.
Official sources on Saturday said the Indian Army is now �holding� the area near PP-14 in the Galwan Valley region, which was the location of the bloody skirmish that left 20 Indian soldiers dead and 76 injured on June 15.
After the clash, the Army said, "Indian and Chinese troops have disengaged at the Galwan area.
