Reuters - India had not lost any territory to China, said Indian Army Chief Manoj Mukund Naravane on Tuesday (March 30), months after the two countries agreed to pull back troops from a bitterly contested lake area high in the western Himalayas.
"We have not lost out on any territory. We are where we were before this whole thing started," said Naravane in New Delhi.
India and China in February began to pull back troops and battle tanks from a bitterly contested lake area high in the Himalayas, in a breakthrough after a months-long standoff on the disputed border between the two nuclear-armed giants.
The standoff began in April last year when India said Chinese troops had intruded deep into its side of the Line of Actual Control or the de facto border in the Ladakh area in the western Himalayas.
