India destroyed bunkers in Chumar to resolve Ladakh row, Army officers confirm

SRINAGAR: India has agreed to a Chinese demand to demolish bunkers near their de facto border in the Himalayas, Indian military officers said, as part of a deal to end a stand-off that threatened to scupper slowly improving relations.

Indian and Chinese soldiers faced off 100 metres (330 feet) apart on a plateau near the Karakoram mountain range, where they fought a war 50 years ago, for three weeks until they reached a deal on Sunday for both sides to withdrew.

The tension had threatened to overshadow a visit by foreign minister to Beijing on May 9. China's Premier Li Keqiang is expected to visit India later this month.

Details of the deal have not been made public but a senior officer from the Indian Army's northern command said India had agreed to abandon and destroy bunkers in the Chumar sector, further south along the disputed border.

"The bunkers in Chumar were dismantled after we acceded to Chinese demand in the last flag meeting. These bunkers were live-in bunkers," the Army officer told Reuters on Tuesday.

India said up to 50 Chinese soldiers intruded into its territory on the western rim of the Himalayas on April 15. Some Indian officials and experts believed the incursion signalled Chinese concern about increased Indian activity in the area.

India said the Chinese soldiers were 19 km (12 miles) beyond the point it understands to be the border in the Ladakh region of Kashmir, a vaguely defined line called the line of actual control, which neither side agrees on.

China denied it had crossed into Indian territory. China won the border war they fought in 1962, which soured relations for decades, but ties between the Asian giants have been improving in recent years. China is India's top trade partner.

India has been beefing up its military presence for several years on the remote Ladakh plateau, building roads and runways to catch up with Chinese development across the border in a disputed area known as Aksai Chin.

The decision to agree to the Chinese demand and demolish the bunkers followed heavy criticism of the government over its handling of the incident by the opposition.

The Indian officer said earlier that Chinese officers demanded that India stop construction of bunkers, tunnels and huts along the line of actual control, as the vaguely defined border in place since the 1962 war is known.

They also objected to nomads crossing from India to grazing meadows on the Chinese side, the Indian Army officer said.

An official in defence ministry said on Monday the deal to end the standoff as a "quid pro quo" and said China had also demanded India take down listening and observation posts in the Chumar area, which is close to a Chinese road through Tibet.

It was not clear if India was dismantling those posts.

India only had 2 options

1) fire the first shot and expect a beating
2) come to the negotiation table and agreed with our demands
 
[MENTION=28303]No your brain is jammed....my above post applies to you as well. !!

Looks like some JAMMERS have JAMMED my BRAIN.

Don't know why some people think that NEUTRALITY/RATIONALITY/PRACTICALITY is just a one way STREET.
 
The Army’s Unmanned Aerial Vehicles operating in Eastern Ladakh have confirmed that the Chinese platoon camping in Depsang valley has gone back to its side of the Line of Actual Control (LAC).

Denying that any deal was struck to reach the agreement to restore status quo as it existed prior to April 15 when the Chinese troops intruded 19 km into the Indian territory, India has only “taken-off” a “tin-shed” construction done in Chumar on April 18.

Given the hyper active Indian media, any concession by India is very easy to find and could turn into a snowball. I feel China retreated unconditionally.

After this episode, I don't take China seriously....Pussies...Could n't handle the pressure :lol:
 
enough amount of trolling guys...the same info was repeated again and again in each thread that India only will dismantle the Chumar post,nothing else will be given to China.but Trolls find new subjects every now and then to troll..

by the way,India didn't loose much I've to say.I mean,India uses UAV to patrol those areas.so,those UAVs will do much better job to keep eye on western Highway of China than the cams of Chumar,am I right??but yes,we lost a post right next to the border.
