Pangong Tso disengagement: Why China blinked after months of deadlock?
India and China have reached an agreement to disengage from the northern and southern banks of Pangong Lake in Eastern Ladakh.
This comes after a long standoff between the forces of the two countries at the LAC in Ladakh.
While many see this step as the beginning of a process that could lead to lasting calm in the borders, others have questioned whether India can trust China to live up to the agreement.
Meanwhile, the opposition has slammed the government and accused it of ceding territory to the Chinese.
So what does the disengagement at the LAC mean for India?

In the frigid streets of Leh, Ladakh's capital, a sense of betrayal and fury hangs heavy in the air. Renowned climate activist Sonam Wangchuk's steadfast hunger strike, now in its fifteenth day, amplifies the urgency of his cause. Wangchuk's 'fast unto death' protest echoes his impassioned plea for constitutional safeguards for Ladakh as a Union Territory and the preservation of its fragile ecosystem against the encroachment of industrial and mining interests.
Accompanied by a multitude of local residents, Wangchuk stands as a symbol of resilience, reminding the Indian Government of its solemn commitments to safeguard Ladakh's environment and uphold its tribal indigenous culture.

At the 55th Regular Session of the United Nations Human Rights Council, India's first secretary Anupama Singh said that the Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh are an integral and inalienable part of India.
