While addressing a Parliamentary panel, Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Bipin Rawat-led the Indian military brass informed that de-escalation between the two sides may take a longer time but the Indian side was ready for any eventuality and have made arrangements for it in the Ladakh sector. The CDS and top military officers also briefed the panel about Chinese aggression along the LAC.
 
India and China have also held several rounds of military-level talks but they have not been able to achieve much success as China seems to be buying time to pressurize India. These talks come after the Indian Army lost 20 soldiers in the Galwan valley brutal face-off between June 15 and June 16 where the Chinese too had suffered casualties but have not admitted it till now.
 
Meanwhile, India is also well-prepared and has asked China to disengage from friction points and Depsang Plains and has built up heavily to counter any further Chinese misadventure there.
