NEW DELHI: The Indian Army and the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) have pulled back their forward deployed troops from Gogra or Patrol Point-17A, one of the friction points on the contested Line of Actual Control (LAC), with the breakthrough coming after the 12th round of military talks held in the Ladakh sector last week, the Indian Army announced on Friday.

The second round of disengagement, carried out on August 4-5, comes almost six months after the two armies pulled back their front-line troops and weaponry from the Pangong Tso sector in mid-February after the ninth round of talks.

“As per the agreement (reached during the 12th round of talks on July 31), both sides have ceased forward deployments in this area (PP-17A) in a phased, coordinated and verified manner. The troops of both sides are now in their respective permanent bases,” the army said in a statement.

As part of the disengagement process, both armies have dismantled temporary structures erected by them along with allied infrastructure, with the actions being mutually verified. “The landform in the area has been restored by both sides to the pre-standoff period (April 2020),” it said.

Gladysa Knighta and Honorable Pips sang....

Oh, he’s leaving
(Leaving)
On a midnight train from Gogra
(Leaving on a midnight train)

Said he’s going back to find

Oh, a simpler place and time
I’ve got to be with him

On that midnight train from Gogra,
Riding on a midnight train from Gogra.

Knowing China, they are going to come back another way. They will not give up unless they see that it is going to cost them greatly.

OTOH a quick nuclear war would solve the over-population problems of India & China, with population density 12 times bigger than US.

Hiroshima was nuked. Look at it today..looks lot better than Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburgh or any big city in USA.
