The disengagement in Ladakh was within expectations classic to the India-China standoffs. But stabilising the borders could take a long time.
Soon, the troops are expected to cease their forward positions on both sides of Pangong in a phased manner, which means returning to the pre-April 2020 position the Indian Army will hold its traditional base Dhan Singh post at Finger 3 and the PLA will hold Finger 8 at Sirijab on the North Bank. A similar status quo is to be restored in the South Bank. The structures built by both sides since April 2020 will be removed. There will be no patrolling for the time being by either side to the traditional areas.
