Indian, Chinese troops engage in heated exchange in Ladakh | Master Stroke

According to sources, the exchange took place on Wednesday in eastern Ladakh.

The face-off comes ahead of an informal summit in October between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping in India.

According to the sources, the Chinese Army personnel objected to patrol by Indian soldiers in the Pangong Tso lake area, most of which is under Chinese control.

The issue was resolved during talks between the two sides on Wednesday, the sources said.

The face-off also comes ahead of the Indian Army holding its 'Him Vijay' exercise in Arunachal Pradesh, most of which China claims as part of Southern Tibet.

China has also voiced its disapproval of India revoking the special Astatus of Jammu and Kashmir and hiving off Ladakh, and making it into a Union Territory.
