As per reports, casualties have been reported on both sides of the border and this is the first violent incident since 1975 where such deaths have been reported in a face-off between the two countries.
China firmly opposes India’s construction of a key road near the Pangong Tso lake and construction of another road which connects Darbuk-Shayok-Daulat Beg Oldie road in Galwan Valley.
Despite the resistance, New Delhi has made statements about not willing to stall border infrastructure projects any further.
