evidence: Even though the recent development is countable and significant nonetheless, the lingering issue of de-escalation and disengagement along the LAC at Depsang Plains and Demchok still remains. The Chinese militia has deployed a massive number of troops at Depsang Plains and Demchok, where three to five tents across Charding Nilong Nallah have been built-up. Demchok is a territory claimed by India. [...] Earlier, in May 2021, China deployed more than 60,000 troops opposite the Indian territory in Eastern Ladakh after the Galwan valley crisis. It went on to build its infrastructures - such as roads and bridges. As a result, the Indian Army also responded in strong terms. With both countries adamant in their stances, the tension in the region escalated manifold.
