The situation along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in the Eastern Theatre has been stable and “no major changes or palpable shift of stance” has been noted since the stand-off in eastern Ladakh, Eastern Army Commander Lieutenant General R. P. Kalita said. There have been reports of continued infrastructure development by China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) and it was being monitored constantly, he stated.
His comments came a day after India and China announced disengagement from Patrolling Point 15 in the Gogra-Hot Springs area of eastern Ladakh. The process of disengagement was completed on September 12, while the other friction points of Depsang and Demchok remain to be resolved.
