June 15 marks one year of the deadly Galwan Valley clash in eastern Ladakh which resulted in the death of 20 Indian soldiers, including Commanding Officer Colonel Santosh Babu, and unspecified number of Chinese troops.
The clash had sparked a war-like situation, however, the situation has cooled down following 11 rounds of military-level talks between India and China, and both countries agreeing to de-escalate.But the Indian Army continues to be on high alert with its enhanced troop deployment of over 50,000 men on the ground in Ladakh for the last year.
