Chinese army retreated 3 km in eastern Ladakh, New satellite image reveals

In eastern Ladakh, the Chinese army has retreated 3 km from its position across the Line of Actual Control (LAC) at Gogra-Hot Springs. This has been revealed from satellite images of Maxar Technologies. In the month of May 2020, when tensions between the armies of the two countries increased, India-China deployed their troops near Patrolling Point-15. Here he made a great post.

On July 17 this year, the 16th round of Corps Commander level talks between India and China was held. In this, the process of withdrawal of forces started on 8 September 2022 and it completely ended on 13 September.

Satellite images can be seen showing a Chinese post in the Gogra-Hot Springs area prior to disengagement, while in the latest satellite image this post has been completely removed. Under the consent, both armies cannot patrol in this area. The Chinese army had built a very large establishment here.

Local councilors in Ladakh say that under the agreement, the Indian Army has removed two of its posts within Indian territory as well. However, Indian Army officials have not confirmed this.

Councilor of Chushul area of ​​Ladakh Konchok Stanzin told NDTV that our soldiers have retreated not only from Petrol Point 15 (PP-15) but also from Petrol Point 16 (PP-16). Here our soldiers used to patrol for the last 50 years. Meanwhile, efforts are on to resolve the standoff in Demchok and Depsang areas.
