New Delhi: Indian and Chinese troops have exchanged Diwali sweets in five locations along the Line of Actual Control, including two in Ladakh. This comes a day after the two sides completed military disengagement from the Depsang and Demchok areas, in line with last week’s patrolling agreement.

Sweets have been exchanged at Chushul Maldo and Daulat Beg Oldi in Ladakh, Banchha (near Kibutu) and Bumla in Arunachal Pradesh, and Nathula in Sikkim.
The patrolling deal called for the removal of military personnel and infrastructure, including temporary camps, from the Depsang plains and Demchok, and the withdrawal of troops to pre-April 2020 positions.

The deal, hopefully, will end nearly four years of military and diplomatic tension triggered by skirmishes and violent clashes in the Pangong Lake and Galwan regions in May-June 2020.
These clashes included the death of 20 Indian soldiers in Galwan in June.
Indian Army sources told the verification process – to cross-check that China had withdrawn its troops, is ongoing, and that ground-level commanders from each side will inform the other prior to regular patrols “to avoid miscommunication“. Significantly, both Delhi and Beijing will continue to have surveillance options in Depsang and Demchok.

“Trying To Restore Trust”
On the disengagement process Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi said this week the Indian military is “trying to restore trust” in its Chinese counterpart.
“This (rebuilding of trust) will happen once we can see each other, and convince and reassure each other, that we are not creeping into buffer zones that have been created,” the General said.
