Sacrifice of our jawans will not go in vain: PM Modi assures nation after Galwan clash
India TodayPrime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday assured the nation that the sacrifice of 20 Indian Army soldiers, who died during a violent clash with Chinese soldiers at Galwan Valley in Ladakh, will not go in vain. Satellite images taken less than 24 hours after the clash between Indian and Chinese soldiers on June 15 at the Galwan River Valley region show that despite being massively outnumbered, the Indian side is still holding its ground in the area. Twenty Indian Army personnel, including a Colonel, were killed in the clash with Chinese troops in the Galwan Valley on Monday night, the biggest military confrontation in over five decades that has significantly escalated the already volatile border standoff between the two countries. A large number of Indian and Chinese troops have been engaged in an eyeball-to-eyeball situation in Galwan Valley and certain other areas of eastern Ladakh for the last five weeks, including in Pangong Tso, Galwan Valley, Demchok and Daulat Beg Oldie in eastern Ladakh.
