new Delhi. Negotiations are continuing between Indian and Chinese forces to end the ongoing border tension in eastern Ladakh. Meanwhile, Indian intelligence agencies said on Wednesday that the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has deployed two more army divisions in disputed areas along the Line of Actual Control (LAC). China does not seem ready to back down from its expansionist policy. This is the situation when Major-General Liu Lin, the military chief of South Xinjiang, agreed to withdraw his troops from Galvan Valley in a conversation with Lieutenant-General Harinder Singh, the commander of the 14 Corps at Leh.
In total, China has deployed around 24,000 troops in the eastern Ladakh region, sources said. Sources said that the Chinese Army has also deployed heavy cannons, tanks and fighter aircraft along the Line of Actual Control to increase the situation of border collision. China generally deploys military divisions in the Tibet region. But now it has deployed two more divisions. This clearly indicates that they are not committed to any consensus to prevent confrontation. India is closely watching the Chinese plans along the Line of Actual Control.

On 22 June, the talks lasted for about 11 hours and a mutual agreement was reached between the two sides.
