NEW DELHI: India and China on Wednesday kicked off initial disengagement in the Pangong Tso area of eastern Ladakh, the first easing after a prolonged military confrontation, by pulling back some tanks, howitzers and armoured vehicles. This will be followed by withdrawal of rival frontline troops from the `friction points’ if the phased de-escalation plan does not derail like it did after the Galwan Valley skirmish in June last year.
The Chinese defence ministry in Beijing announced the “synchronized and organized disengagement” from the north and south banks of Pangong Tso in accordance with the “consensus reached” in the ninth round of the corps commander-level talks on January 24.
The Chinese seemed to make full use of the opportunity as the spokesperson said that, for a long time, the Indian side had conducted “frequent acts of trespass” in the border area in an attempt to encroach on Chinas territory and “constantly created disputes and frictions, which is the root cause of the tensions at the China-India border”.
