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,” Army spokesperson Col Aman Anand has said.The southern bank of Pangong – an area broadly known as the Chushul sector – has been an area of concern since the standoff started in early May, with a massive build up of Chinese troops along the LAC.Sources said that massive movement of troops has taken place to Chushul on Sunday after reports came in of the fresh Chinese aggression. The army is not sharing additional details of the what it means by provocative military movements or whether the PLA has breached the LAC at a fresh point. A flag meeting is underway to resolve the crisis.“The 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,” Col Anand said.The border crisis with remains a major source of concern with the PLA refusing to move back from the northern bank of the Pangong Tso lake at the finger area. PLA troops have taken position deep into Indian claimed territory at a feature known as Finger 4, cutting off over 50 sq km of land that was earlier being patrolled by both sides.In Video:Experience Your Economic Times Newspaper, The Digital Way!&nbsp;»(Catch all the , Events and Updates on .)Download to get Daily Market Updates &amp; Live Business News.Subscribe to XContinue reading with one of these options:Limited AccessFreeLogin to get access to some exclusive stories &amp; personalised newslettersLogin NowUnlimited AccessStarting @ Rs120/monthGet access to exclusive stories, expert opinions &amp; in-depth stock reportsSubscribe NowTo read full story, subscribe to ET Prime₹34 per weekBilled annually at₹2499Already a Member?
