India-China standoff in Ladakh

People's Liberation Army personnel camped at three places in the Chumar area in Northeast Ladakh early Friday and refused to vacate even after prime Minister Narendra Modi warned chinese president Xi Jinping that incursions should be stopped immediately but now India and China have finally ended their standoff at 11 30 am on Friday in the Chumar area in Northeast Ladakh .During the standoff helicopters regularly air dropped food packets for the Chinese People's Liberation Army(PLA) personnel numbering around 600 at the three areas in Chumar, 300 km east of Leh.The sources said both the Indian and Chinese armies were maintaining a distance of 200 metres from each other, as the continuing standoff in Demchok and Chumar cast a shadow on Thursday's summit talks between Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and visiting Chinese President Xi Jinping in New Delhi.
