India-China border face-off: Locals in Varanasi pay tribute to slain soldiers
People paid tribute to the soldiers who lost their lives during violent face-off with China at Galwan Valley.
Locals in Varanasi lit the earthen lamps and paid tributes.
At least 20 Indian soldiers were killed in the violent face-off, government sources said and added that the casualty numbers could rise.
The violent face-off happened in Ladakh's Galwan Valley as a result of an attempt by the Chinese troops to "unilaterally change" the status quo during de-escalation in Eastern Ladakh.
