Following the recent disengagement between India and China, Indian troops have begun patrolling the Demchok sector in eastern Ladakh. This development is part of a coordinated approach agreed upon by the two nations to monitor the Line of Actual Control (LAC) within their respective perceptions in both the Demchok and Depsang sectors.

Indian Army sources confirmed that patrolling in the Demchok sector has already commenced, while patrols in the Depsang area are expected to start soon. The new arrangements aim for both nations to have mutual awareness of patrol schedules, ensuring coordinated patrols to maintain stability.
