News of the call between China’s Wang Yi and India’s Subrahmanyam Jaishankar — which was not confirmed by New Delhi — came as sources told AFP that Indian paramilitaries were being deployed to the area of the skirmish high in the Himalayas opposite Tibet. “The Indian side must not misjudge the current situation, and must not underestimate China’s firm will to safeguard its territorial sovereignty,” it added.
In his first remarks on the deadly clashes — which follow weeks of rising tensions over the disputed border — Prime Minister Narendra Modi told the nation the deaths of the soldiers “will not be in vain”. Many of these killed appear to have been punched or shoved off a ridge onto rocks and into an icy river below.Postmortem examinations on those killed showed that the “primary reason for death is drowning and it looks like they fell from a height into the water because of head injuries,” an official told AFP.Both sides gave competing versions of the violence.
In 2017 there was a 72-day showdown after Chinese forces moved into the disputed Doklam plateau on the China-India-Bhutan border.
