Chinese Media Reports Simultaneous Disengagement By India, China Along Pangong Tso Lake In Ladakh

Chinese state-affiliated Global Times yesterday (10 February) quoted China's defence ministry as saying that Indian and Chinese troops have begun disengagement on the southern and northern shores of the Pangong Tso lake in Ladakh.

“Chinese and Indian border troops on the southern and northern shores of Pangong Lake began disengagement as planned on Wednesday according to the consensus reached during the ninth round of military commander-level talks,” the Tweet from Global Times read.

Defence Journalists have claimed that this disengagement includes both Indian and China pulling back armoured columns from southern banks of Pangong Tso. While tanks are being withdrawn from the site, the soldiers remain.
