New Delhi: In a major move, both China and India, on Monday, have decided to pull back army from Doklam after two months of the standoff in the region.

India and China have been locked in a standoff for more than two months in Doklam near the Sikkim sector. The faceoff began after Indian troops stopped Chinese military from building a road India believes would allow Beijing to cut its access to the northeastern states. Bhutan says Doklam belongs to it but China claims sovereignty over the area.
