NEW DELHI, Aug 31 (BNC Network): On the Night of 29/30 August 2020, PLA (People Liberation Army) troops violated the previous consensus arrived at during military and diplomatic engagements during the ongoing standoff in Eastern Ladakh and carried out provocative military movements to change the status quo.

Indian troops pre-empted this PLA activity on the Southern Bank of Pangong Tso Lake, undertook measures to strengthen our positions and thwart Chinese intentions  to unilaterally change facts on ground, an Army statement said.

The Indian Army is committed to maintaining peace and tranquility through dialogue, but is also equally determined to protect its territorial integrity.

A Brigade Commander level Flag Meeting is in progress at Chushul to resolve the issues.
