The disengagement includes the Chinese and Indian forces pulling back armour-tanks and armoured personnel carriers from close to the Line of Actual Control(LAC). India would return back forces to the South Bank of Pangong, its pre-existing position prior. Here Indiana dominates the heights to position before tension began. Whereas, Chinese would return to the Finger 8 region on the North Bank of the Pangong lake leaving their existing position.

Ever since the Galwan valley clashed in June last year, in which twenty Indian soldiers have lost their lives, as did many Chinese soldiers including the commanding officer, India had been watchful.

The Indian security establishment, including National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, Chief of Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat, Army Chief General Manoj Mukund Naravane and Air Force chief RKS Bhadauria, had responded with strong military measures like occupying the dominating heights along the southern and northern bank of Pangong Lake on the LAC.

While China mobilised its troops in a massive deployment along the LAC, India moved close to 60,000 troops for forward deployments, besides bringing in reserve divisions.
