In the June 6 talks, India stuck to its point that China restore status quo ante prior to May. However, it now seems a tall order as the Chinese have, so far, shown no inclination of reducing its troop strength from the face-off sites besides depth areas. After the unprece- dented skirmish on June 15 and resultant tension, it is unlikely that the LAC will return to nor- mal soon, sources said. Also, the modalities for disengage- ment from “all friction areas” in Eastern Ladakh agreed to at the second Corps Commander talks between Lt General Harinder Singh and Major General Liu Lin on June 22 is yet to get underway, they added.
