  • Meanwhile, MEA said India and China have been discussing the matter for a long time through military and diplomatic channels. Mentioning the June 6 meeting between seniors of both the armies, India said the discussion was "productive".

    Ground commanders had agreed to implement the consensus of the higher officials, MEA added. Blaming China, it said they did not abide by it.

    "India responsible in its conduct, expects same from the Chinese"

  • Noting that deaths could have been avoided had China followed the agreement "scrupulously", MEA added, "Given its responsible approach to border management, India is very clear that all its activities are always within Indian side of LAC. We expect the same of the Chinese side."
