During the discussion, India also raised objections to Chinese construction activities in areas along the Depsang plains and DBO sector. “We have told China that under the garb of war games, they had mustered heavy armament and deployment of troops along the LAC in Eastern Ladakh which could be traced even by commercial satellites, top sources told India Today.
