The disengagement follows on an agreement made on 21, October expected to solve the issue in a bigger picture after the June 2020 Galwan Valley face-off which escalated into the military stand-off.
It started with local level commander meetings earlier this week and is expected to receive final endorsement before being fully implemented.

The Indian side is now back west of the Charding Nullah in Demchok while the Chinese side has pulled back east of the same feature.

This agreement is regarded as important to be able to bring back order in a place that has tension since the June 2020 Galwan Valley incident.
