New Delhi: 20 of our soldiers were killed in a bloody clash between Indian and Chinese forces late Monday night in the Galwan Valley of Ladakh. While there were reports of many other jawans being taken hostage by China. China released 10 Indian hostages held late Thursday. It is reported that these include two majors.
News agency PTI has claimed this by quoting those who know about the case. Reports said that it was agreed to release the soldiers in the Indian Army and the People’s Liberation Army only during Major-General level talks. However, no official statement has been made on this yet.
Significantly, in order to restore normalcy in the Galvan Valley of eastern Ladakh, India and China are constantly engaged in dialogue with each other. The army had issued a statement a day earlier, saying that no of its jawans were missing. All have been counted. No soldiers involved in the confrontation against China are missing. It is believed that the army gave this statement on Thursday due to the return of all the soldiers on this incident on Monday.
