Ladakh clash: China releases 10 Indian soldiers
New Delhi/UNI: Though the Indian Army had said that there were no soldiers missing in action post the violent face-off between Indian and Chinese troops in Ladakh’s Galwan Valley, sources have said that the 10 soldiers who were held captive by China’s PLA were released after over 6-hour long military meeting.
10 soldiers, including a Major and Captain-rank officers, who were held captive came and joined the duty.
The military meeting between India and China at Major-General-level was held for three consecutive days, sources added.
On Thursday, Indian Army spokesperson said, "It is clarified that no Indian troops are missing in action."
He also said that the statement was in reference to the article, “In China-India Clash, Two Nationalist Leaders with Little Room to Give”, published by the New York Times on Wednesday.
The sources in the Army on Friday said that no soldier was in a critical state and all of them will be back on duty in two weeks.
More than four decades after the last fatality occurred during a conflict at the India-China border, at least 20 Indian personnel were killed in the conflict with the Chinese military at the Galwan Valley, which is close to Aksai Chin, an area that is controlled by China but claimed by both the countries, in eastern Ladakh on Jun 15 night.
