LAC faceoff

LAC faceoff was exacerbated when 20 Indian Army soldiers including a Commanding Officer were martyred in Galwan Valley on June 15 when de-escalation process was underway. This was followed by multiple attempts of provocation by Chinese side at end of August. Meanwhile, Republic TV accessed pictures of China's PLA troops gared near Rezang La in sourn Pangong Tso area at Line of Actual Control on Monday evening.

Pictured with primitive weapons in ir hand, it is perceived that Chinese troops intended to repeat Galwan Valley-type clash.
