India reinforces flashpoint area as China holds ground, sources say | Malay Mail

Chinese forces have held onto a chunk of land covering several square kilometres at the mouth of the Galwan valley following a deadly brawl there on June 15, the Indian military sources told AFP. Indian jets regularly took off yesterday from a military base in Leh, the main Indian town in the contested region, and headed towards the mountainous border 240 kilometres away.

Beijing had made similar calls for resolution after a fist-fight in May that proved to be a warm-up for the medieval-style battle at Galwan. According to Indian military sources, Chinese troops ambushed Indian soldiers and forced them down a ridge where they had gone to remove a Chinese “encroachment.”

But the Chinese appear to be sticking to their gains at Galwan and the nearby Pangong Tso lake, police intelligence and military sources told AFP.Indian analysts are dubious of the chances of a major easing of the tensions or that India will reclaim the territory.
