Two weeks after India announced a “patrolling arrangement” with China at two spots along the Line of Actual Control (LAC), patrolling was carried out by the Indian Army at one of the four routes on the Depsang plateau in eastern Ladakh.

The Army’s 14 Corps, headquartered at Leh, posted on X: “Following the consensus reached between India and China for disengagement and resumption of patrolling in Depsang and Demchok, the Army conducted a successful patrol to one of the points in Depsang today.”

The 14 Corps is tasked with keeping tabs along the 832-km LAC in eastern Ladakh. There are four patrolling routes at Depsang that had been blocked since April 2020, after the two sides were locked in a military stand-off.
