The standoff in Demchok and Chumar had cast a shadow on Thursday’s summit talks between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping, PTI said.
The Indian army, which had reportedly started scaling down operations from the area following the Chinese withdrawal on Friday night, put a halt and again started pitching their tents for a possible fresh standoff, the sources said.
