The 11th round of the Corps Commander talks at Chushul took place after almost a two-month gap. The Indian military delegation was led by Lieutenant General PGK Menon, Commander of the 14 Corps based in Leh. The focus of the talk is disengagement on other friction points. After Pangong lake disengagement, both the countries have planned to carry out disengagement on other friction points like Gogra, Hot Springs and the 900 sq-km Depsang plains.
“The military dialogue is still on and it is important that before the onset of summer de-escalation takes place at Line of Actual Control (LAC). Both sides need to retreat to original positions for things to ease,” said an Army officer. There is a temporary moratorium on military activities, including patrolling to the traditional areas. The confrontations began on the north bank of Pangong Lake last year.
