The latest round of Corps commander-level talks that began at around 9 am in Moldo on the Chinese side of the Line of Actual Control (LAC) across India’s Chushul sector in eastern Ladakh went on for over 12 hours and was still underway at 9 pm, the sources said.

The Ministry also said that even as the ground commanders of the two sides were in discussions to de-escalate the situation, the Chinese troops on August 31 “again engaged in provocative action. Due to the timely defensive action, the Indian side was able to prevent these attempts to unilaterally alter the status quo.”
“We expect the Chinese sides will sincerely work with us for complete disengagement and de-escalation and full restoration of peace and tranquility in the border areas,” MEA spokesperson Anurag Srivasta said.
Passed unanimously by the House of Representatives, the amendment said that the expansion and aggression of the People’s Republic of China in and around disputed territories, such as the Line of Actual Control, the South China Sea, the Senkaku Islands, is of significant concern.

Police said an alert and an advisory have been issued in Kinnaur and Lahaul-Spiti districts to take all precautionary measures to ensure security of local population and also to collect intelligence.
