NEW DELHI : India and China have carried out “limited disengagement"—or pulled back some troops—in three of the four areas of their current standoff in Ladakh, two people familiar with the development said on Tuesday, days after top military commanders met to tamp down tensions.The move reflects their willingness to resolve the month-long standoff through talks, one of the two people said.
The areas from where troops have been moved back are two points in the Galwan Valley and a third which is known as Hot Springs, the person said.The immediate cause of the face-off has been China’s stiff opposition to India laying a key road around the Pangong Tso Lake, besides building another link road connecting the Darbuk-Shayok-Daulat Beg Oldie road.
