Indian And Chinese Troops Disengage From Patrolling Point 15 In Eastern Ladakh

Indian and Chinese militaries on Monday moved back their frontline troops to the rear locations from the face-off site of Patrolling Point 15 in the Gogra-Hot springs area in eastern Ladakh and dismantled temporary infrastructure there as part of a five-day disengagement process.
The Indian and Chinese armies on September 8 announced that they have kicked off the disengagement process from the PP-15, in a significant forward movement in the stalled process to pull-out troops from the remaining friction points in the region. When asked about the disengagement at PP-15 on the sidelines of an event, Army Chief Gen Manoj Pande said: “I will have to go and take stock. But, it (disengagement process) is going as per schedule, and what was decided”.

About Patrolling Points

PPs are patrolling points identified and marked on the LAC, which are patrolled with a stipulated frequency by the security forces.
They serve as a guide to the location of the LAC for the soldiers, acting as indicators of the extent of ‘actual control’ exercised on the territory by India.
By regularly patrolling up to these PPs, the Indian side is able to establish and assert its physical claim about the LAC.
