There was a minor face-off between Indian and Chinese troops in the no-patrolling zone at
Galwan Valley in Eastern Ladakh in the first week of May, a senior government official told
The Hindu. However, no clash occurred and the two sides disengaged quickly.
A no-patrolling zone extending to around 3 kilometre, around 1.5 km each, on either side of the clash site near the Y-junction of the Galwan Valley, was created after the June 15, 2020 incident
when 20 Indian army personnel were killed in violent clashes with the Chinese. A 30-day moratorium was also applied on foot-patrolling then. It was not known if it has been extended.
Army denies any face-off took place
