The Indian Army has resumed patrols at Demchok, as confirmed by army sources on Friday, following the recent completion of troop disengagements at eastern Ladakh's two friction points involving Indian and Chinese forces.
This significant step is preceded by an exchange of sweets along the Line of Actual Control during the Diwali festivities, marking the improving diplomatic atmosphere between India and China.
The renewed patrol activity indicates a return to pre-April 2020 conditions and suggests a thaw in the tense relations since the standoff began, hinting at more stable border protocols between the two nations.
