New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP president JP Nadda pays floral tribute to former Bharatiya Jana Sangh leader Deendayal Upadhyaya on his 53rd death anniversary on Thursday (February 11, 2021).

Meanwhile, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh in his statement in Rajya Sabha on the current situation in eastern Ladakh confirmed the disengagement of both Indian and Chinese troops at the Line of Actual Control (LAC). Singh hailed the Indian troops and reiterated that the Indian armed forces remain committed to peace and stability at the LAC. 

This comes a day after both Indian and Chinese troops initiated the process of disengagement along the international border in Ladakh.

The defence ministry spokesperson Colonel Wu Qian said troops of both nations stationed at the northern and southern shores of Pangong Lake in Ladakh began the disengagement process after reaching to a consensus during the talks, the Chinese media reported. 

Tanks are being moved out of the south bank, and the strength of Indian troops deployed there will also be reduced. The process will take place in phases and will be verified at every step.
