Twenty Indian soldiers were killed in a violent clash between Indo-Chinese forces on the LAC in the Galwan Valley of Ladakh. At least 43 Chinese soldiers have been killed.

Indian soldier Surendra Singh was seriously injured in a violent clash between Indian and Chinese forces. He was treated at a military hospital in Ladakh. What exactly happened at the border when they regained consciousness after 12 hours?

Surendra Singh said that in the Galwan Valley, Chinese troops suddenly attacked Indian troops. The fighting between the two countries lasted for about 4 to 5 hours. When the conflict began, about 2,000 Indian soldiers were stationed in the Galwan Valley

The armies of both countries were fighting in the cold waters of Galwan. Also, when the conflict started, there was only enough space on the shores of the valley for one man to go. Therefore, Indian troops have to face great difficulties in handling the situation.

Surendra Singh was hit in the head and one arm was fractured during the struggle which lasted for about 5 hours in 5 feet of water. He was later pulled out of the water and admitted to hospital. Meanwhile, his mobile phone was also lost in the water.

Tensions between the two countries have been rising since the violent clashes between Indian and Chinese troops. But China's position is that the conflict on the Indian border should not escalate. At least 20 Indian soldiers were killed in violent clashes between the two countries on Monday and Tuesday midnight. News agency ANI

Indian Army personnel are now ready to retaliate if China commits atrocities. Sources said that India has deployed additional troops in Galwan Ghadi, Daulat Beg Oldi, Chushul and Depsang after China increased its troops on the border.
