Defence Minister Rajnath Singh Reviews Situation At LAC

Defense Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday held a high-level security review meeting with National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, Chief of Defense Staff General Bipin Rawat, and the three army chiefs to discuss the ongoing situation along the China border. Points of the meeting include all existing agreements and protocols for border management, maintaining peace and stability, and avoiding any action. During the meeting, India also strongly raised the issue of deployment of large numbers of troops and military equipment by China along the Line of Actual Control in East Ladakh.
As part of the tension along the border, India and China are holding brigade commanders level talks in Chushul from 11 am on Friday.
Rajnath met with the three army chiefs at a time while Foreign Minister S Jaishankar is meeting his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi on Thursday evening in the Russian capital Moscow. In the meeting, the two ministers held talks to reduce the tension on the border. Both have agreed on five points.
Such talks between the two countries are being held on a daily basis except for Monday-Tuesday. At the same time, the Indian Army is actively monitoring the activities of the Chinese army in the area bordering Lake Pangong Tso to prevent them from occupying any area of India.
