The Indian Army officials held meetings with their counterparts in China’s PLA at Daulat Beg Oldi and Chushul along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh on Thursday and took pledge to maintain the sanctity of the borderline to ensure peace and tranquility in the region.

The area, particularly Depsang valley of Ladakh, has in the recent years witnessed incidents of incursion by the Chinese troops, mainly due to different and conflicting perceptions about the LAC.

The officers from the two armies held ceremonial border personal meetings (BPMs) on the occasion of “Harvest Festival’’ at Indian BPM hut in Chushul and another one at Indian meeting point hut at Daulat Beg Oldi.

The Indian delegations were led by Brigadier Rajender Rai in Chushul and Colonel B.S. Uppal in Daulat Beg Oldi whereas those of the neighbouring country were headed by senior Colonel Wang Jun Xian and Lt. Colonel Duan Yu Gangin at the two places, respectively.
