Let us tell you that since May, there was a situation of tension between India and China. Recently, on the basis of the agreement between the armies of the two countries, the work of removing the forces from the border is going on. The Chinese army has retreated from Galwan, Pangong area and had asked its troops to go back about two-two km.
