Briefing the development, the source said that the Chinese troops moved back under the mutual disengagement agreement by two kilometres at three friction points or the Hot Springs i.e. Patrolling Point 14, Patrolling Point 15 and Patrolling Point 17 an 17 A.
Along with the Chinese military, the Indian Army has withdrawn its troops by almost the equal distance from the areas which were its patrolling points till May first week when the Chinese had started building up its base long the Line of Actual Control.
The report further mentioned that today's disengagement agreement has been mutually made by both India and China as both the countries recognize the importance of de-escalation for full restoration of peace and tranquility.

The sources further said that the vacant spaces will now be treated as temporary non-patrolling zones by India and China, and that their troops won't come there.
