Srinagar: Even after several rounds of talks between India and China, no consensus has been reached on the removal of forces from eastern Ladakh. Now it is almost decided that the soldiers of both the countries will have to remain there for several months in the harsh winter.
Even after the talks between the corps commanders on November 6 and November 8, there has been no significant progress in this matter.
“The negotiations have almost come to a standstill due to lack of agreement on the conditions and steps to withdraw by mutual consent. China has not yet given any fixed date for the ninth round of military talks” Media reports According to the report, China is still adamant that the proposal to withdraw the army should be implemented from the southern side of Pangong Soe Lake and Chushul area, where Indian troops have been strategically leading China since August 29.
At the same time, India wants the withdrawal of the troops from the northern side of Pangong So where the Chinese border has set foot on the eight kilometer area from Finger-4 to Finger-8.
Apart from this, there is also a difference of opinion about the distance to retreat in the Finger area in both countries. Also, there is controversy over the strategically important Depsang plains. (PTK)
