  • Despite talks being underway at several levels, the Indian and Chinese soldiers engaged in a violent face-off at eastern Ladakh's Galwan Valley on Monday.

    The clashes resulted in the martyrdom of 20 Indian soldiers, including the Commanding Officer of the 16 Bihar Regiment.

    Fuming at the incident, Prime Minister Narendra said that while India advocates peace, it is capable of giving a befitting reply.
