Chinese heavy armoured vehicles are still present in the depth areas in the Galwan river area.
The Indian Army is monitoring the situation with caution, Army sources informed.
The third round of Corps Commander-level meeting between armies of India and China went on for 12 hours, said Army sources on July 1. The first two rounds had taken place in Moldo on the Chinese side of the Line of Actual Control (LAC).
In the second round of Corps Commander-level talks held on June 22, both sides reached a mutual consensus to disengage in the Eastern Ladakh sector, Army sources said.
