In a significant development, the Chinese army has withdrawn about 10,000 soldiers from their interior areas near the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh. However, the deployment in the forward areas remains intact and in many areas of this sector, troops on both sides are engaged face to face. Government sources said that the Chinese army has withdrawn about 10,000 soldiers from their traditional training areas in front of the East Ladakh sector and its surrounding areas.
