Indian Foreign Ministry spokesman Arindam Bagchi has said on 9 September, the process of withdrawal of troops in PP 15 will be completed by Monday.
Indian Air Force did an easy job. Army Chief General Manoj Pandey has praised the Indian Air Force's actions in response to developments in Eastern Ladakh in 2020. General Manoj Pandey has said that without the unprecedented contribution of the Indian Air Force and the airlift, this task would not have been possible to reach the troops in Eastern Ladakh.
The "no-petrol buffer zone" in the PP-15 area is now the fourth to be created in eastern Ladakh since the military confrontation with China began in April-May 2020. The first ones, ranging from 3-km to 10-km, were installed in 2020-2021 in PP-14 (Galwan Valley), PP-17A (Gogra) and Pangong Tso-Kailash range area.
