India-China standoff: Corps Commanders talks inconclusive, Army ready for longer haul
New Indian ExpressIndian claim has been till Finger 8 but after the clash of Indian and Chinese troops in the first week of May, China moved in its troops gradually to the Hotspring Sector, Galwan Valley, and Depsang Bulge. India has also deployed its troops along with commensurate presence of Artillery, armoured and other equipments to counter the Chinese Army. There have been five Corps Commanders meetings with the last one being July 2 and India has reiterated its position on disengagement that status quo ante to the position before Chinese moved in and adopted the standoff position. The Chinese have not honoured the agreement between the two Corps Commanders meeting and they remain present, apart from the Finger area, in Gogra-Hot Spring sector and also in Depsang.
