India News: The Chinese side suggested that troops can be asked to go back by a few hundred metres to defuse current tension. At present, troops are stationed at a distance of around 80 m across the Raki Nullah near India's Advanced Landing Ground in the Daulat Beg Oldie sector.

India wants that China should withdraw its troops in totality, making it clear that forces have to be at the spot where they were stationed before the April 15 intrusion. The face-off is taking place at desolate, barren and treeless expanse at an altitude of 16,700 feet in a snow- bound area.

Both sides have pitched insulated tents some 800 m away from each other. The tents are used as staging ground from where a small contingent of troops is dispatched to the face-off site. Both sides hold banner drills asking each other to withdraw.
