The developments have come after India had suffered 20 casualties in the border skirmish in the sequel of the five-week border dispute row. The clash happened on Monday night in the Galwan valley in eastern Ladakh and the face-off in the LAC had reported casualties for the first time since 1967. According to the reports, India has lost three soldiers including a colonel on Monday while dozens were injured.

On Tuesday, the Indian Army confirmed that 17 injured had died, while four are under the critical state. While the border dispute triggered the tensions, it also has spurred massive outrage across the country on the death of the Indian soldiers. 

On Wednesday, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh had convened a meet with External Affairs Minister Jaishankar and Chief of Army and he has also ordered stationing of more troops at the border.
