Four days after foreign ministers of India and China agreed on a five-point plan to resolve the prolonged border standoff, the overall situation at friction points in eastern Ladakh remains unchanged and continues to be tense, According to government sources.

The Indian Army and the Chinese People's Liberation Army have been locked in a tense standoff in multiple areas along the LAC in eastern Ladakh since early May.
