CHINA & INDIA WAR SITUATION 2020 - LATEST UPDATE

Since from many days, China started to patrol on the Indian land, which led it to acquire the Indian control land mainly in the Ladakh region.

As the control line between the Pakistan and India is known as LOC (line of control) the same as the control line between India and China is known as the LAC (Line Of Actual Control) 

The line of control LOC is clearly defined between both the countries, But the line between India & China is not clearly defined, hence led to severe fights.

 The incident has started around the Pangong Lake on the 5th of May, as 60% of the lake comes in the Chinese claim areas.

These are the 20 soldiers ‘killed in action’ in Galwan after clash with the Chinese troops.

At least 20 Indian soldiers, including a commanding officer posted in Galwan Valley along with subedars, havildars, and sepoys, were “killed in action” following a skirmish with Chinese troops Monday night.

The Indian Army initially released a statement Tuesday afternoon, noting that three officers had died in action during the violent face-off. However, later at night, the Army said 17 more soldiers had succumbed to their critical injuries since they had been exposed to sub-zero temperatures in the high altitude terrain.

The skirmish, which took place late Monday, is the first time in 45 years that a soldier has died along the Line of Actual Control (LAC), which is undefined in Ladakh.

In its statement, the Army noted that it was “firmly committed to protect the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the nation”.

There has been speculation that some soldiers are missing, since some had fallen into the freezing river in the valley, but the Army neither addressed this in its statement nor mentioned the injuries or deaths sustained by the Chinese side.

The clash occurred after Commanding Officer Col Santosh Babu found out that Chinese soldiers did not entirely follow through on the de-escalation process agreed upon by both sides during earlier talks.

ThePrint had reported that the face-off took place on a narrow slope and some soldiers fell into the confluence of the Galwan and Shyok rivers. The face-off included stone-pelting and physical clashes with barbed wire and iron rods. The soldiers who fell into the river died of hypothermia.

The bodies of the soldiers were taken by a military aircraft from Leh Wednesday afternoon and will be carried by road to their respective hometowns.

The Indian Army released details of all 20 soldiers declared killed in action. Among them was Ankush, a 21-year-old sepoy born on 4 November 1998. Sepoy Ganesh Hansda was even younger at 20 years. Sepoy Kundan Kumar Ojha died just days before his 27th birthday on 18 June.
