The Indian government had also deployed equal number of troops as China in this area. The situation became so bad that bullets were fired on the LAC.
Meanwhile, on June 15, 20 Indian soldiers were martyred in a clash with the Chinese army in Galwan Valley. Later India also gave a befitting reply to this. About 60 Chinese soldiers were killed in this.
