Sources also revealed that this sweet exchange took place at about 5 border personnel meeting (BPM) points located along the LAC. The troops of both the sides are said to start patrolling soon after this disengagement process which included the withdrawal of troops and tents and any structure that was created temporarily by the troops.
This verification process proceeding with the disengagement was already in motion and the patrols modalities were to be decided by the ground commanders.
Meanwhile, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping also organized a meeting on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit earlier this year. Both parties agreed to the fact that India-China ties are very crucial for the people of both the countries and also for the peace stability of the world.
