Reciprocally, the Indian troops will be based at their permanent base at Dhan Singh Thapa Post near Finger 3," said Defence Minister.Similar action would be taken in the South Bank area by both sides, he added."These are mutual and reciprocal steps and any structures that had been built by both sides since April 2020 in both North and South Bank area will be removed and the landforms will be restored. It has also been agreed to have a temporary moratorium on military activities by both sides in the North Bank, including patrolling to the traditional areas," Defence Minister said.Over the issues of patrolling in the Pangong Lake, Singh said, "Patrolling will be resumed only when both sides reach an agreement in diplomatic and military talks that would be held subsequently. The implementation of this agreement has started yesterday in the North and South Bank of the Pangong Lake."Previously, India and China had agreed to push for an early disengagement of the frontline troops in eastern Ladakh during the ninth round of the China-India Corps Commander Level meeting held on the Chinese side of the Moldo-Chushul border meeting point on January 24 to address the ongoing military standoff.The two countries have been engaged in a stand-off along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) since April-May last year.
