Amidst the border tensions along the LAC, Indian and Chinese militaries on Sunday held another round of brigade commander-level talks in eastern Ladakh. The talks were an attempt to calm tensions even as the situation remained ‘delicate.’
The nearly four-hour interaction could not produce any tangible outcome. The Indian Army has been on a very high level of alert and is ready to deal with any eventuality in the area as the situation remains “delicate” with both sides bringing in additional troops and weapons following last week’s confrontations.
Tension escalated in the region after Indian troops foiled attempts by the Chinese military to occupy Indian territories in the southern bank of Pangong lake area on the intervening night of August 29 and 30.
Earlier, India and China on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday held a round of military talks to ease escalating tension.

He Pushed for the restoration of status quo ante at all friction points in eastern Ladakh during talks with his Chinese counterpart Gen.
Wei Fenghe in Moscow, in the first highest-level face-to-face contact between the two sides after the border row, erupted in Ladakh in early May.
