New Delhi, Aug 15 (IBNS): Indian and Chinese troops on Tuesday exchanged sweets at Nathu La mountain pass in Sikkim on the occasion of India's Independence Day.

However, reports said that there were no ceremonial meeting held between the officers of the Indian Army and China's People's Liberation Army as per the tradition.

Residents of the Nathu La area also got sweets from the Army as part of the Independence Day celebrations.

The ongoing tensions had built up following the construction of a road by China in Bhutan’s Doklam region.
