The disengagement process included dismantling of infrastructure built by both the neighbour countries. The previous locations from where they had disengaged included the Galwan area and the two banks of the Pangong lake in eastern Ladakh.
Chinese troops withdrew from ‘Finger-4’ to its Sirijap positions east of ‘Finger-8’. In effect, Indian troops can no longer patrol an around 10-km stretch in ‘Finger’ area now, though Indian maps show the line of actual control runs north to south at ‘Finger-8’.
