Chinese forces have held onto a chunk of land covering several square kilometres in Galwan valley.
LEH - Indian fighter jets roared over a flashpoint Himalayan region Wednesday as part of a show of strength following what military sources say has been a Chinese takeover of contested territory.
But both countries have maintained troops around the valley, with India deploying more forces and trying to project military might. Tashi Chhepal, a retired Indian army captain who has served in the area and is based in Leh, said the mobilisation was unprecedented in a sensitive region touching Pakistan as well as China.Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian on Wednesday called on India to observe previous bilateral agreements and "work with China to take concrete actions and resume peace and stability in the border areas".
The two countries fought a border war in 1962, but this month s fighting was their deadliest encounter in 53 years. China has in turn accused Indian soldiers of twice crossing the Line of Actual Control, the unofficial boundary, provoking its troops.
