NEW DELHI: As part of the disengagement, the Chinese troops have left the
disputed area of Dokalam along with bulldozers and removed the tents which
they had pitched, according to a top Indian government official.
The official, on the condition of anonymity, said there were about 1700-1800
Chinese troops in the area where they proposed to build a road and all of
them have left.
The Indian troops, whose number was in a "few hundreds", have also moved out
of the stand-off area, the official told PTI tonight, adding it is a "
demilitarised" area now.

China claims India withdrew troops in Dokalam, silent on plans to build road
The stand-off had begun in June when the Indian troops objected to the
Chinese building the road there.
"The bulldozers have been taken away, tents have been removed and even a
flag which they (Chinese) had hoisted there has been removed," the official
said.
Earlier, in the morning, the External Affairs Ministry said: "expeditious
disengagement of border personnel at the face-off site in Dokalam has been
agreed to and is ongoing."
Later, in the evening, External Affairs Ministry spokesman Raveesh Kumar
said the process of disengagement had almost been completed under
verification, reflecting an end to the nearly two-and-half-month long
standoff.
"This process has since been almost completed under verification," Kumar
said, referring to the disengagement.
An official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the process of
resolving the matter started after a brief interaction between Prime
Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping in Hamburg in July.
Subsequently, the Special Representatives of the two countries -- National
Security Adviser Ajit Doval and China's State Councillor Yang Jiechi -- were
in touch, the official said.
The breakthrough came just days ahead of the BRICS Summit to be held in the
Chinese city of Xiamen from September 3-5, which Modi is expected to attend. |
