First questions👇
@archismohan:MEA statement on Thursday: "the Chinese side departed from the consensus to respect the LAC in the Galwan valley. On the late evening and night of 15th June 2020, a violent face off happened when the Chinese side unilaterally attempted to change the status quo there"
@SushantSin :
Every single map with the Army in Ladakh shows the LAC passing through Finger 8 at Pangong Tso. The Chinese are sitting eight kms to the west of it, have made bunkers and posts. So whose territory is it that they are in?

And, pray where is Galwan, that Valley of Death for Indian soldiers?
Nirupama Menon Rao,@NMenonRao : "I think he’s basically saying that at this moment neither side can be said to be in the area that saw the action on Monday night....
"...All Quiet on the Western Front. The bloodshed happened, our men were martyred, we fought bravely,taught the enemy a lesson & the area is now clear." (End of quote)
Dinakar Peri @dperi84 :
There is no ‘no man’s land’ on the LAC. So where the standoff and clash happen!! Looks like we just gave up our claims in multiple places on LAC in Ladakh!

A story. This is what happened after the "tent war" at the Raki Nullah, Depsang Plains, in Ladakh in 2013. It was resolved at the cost of a "tin shed". Is their a fig leaf of a tin shed somewhere in the making?

In any case, the "new reality" of an altered Line of Actual Control -- a change of frontlines -- is here.

New statement by China foreign ministry says "adventurous...Indian Army ...violently attacked Chinese officers and soldiers..." in China's Galwan Valley 
What happens next in Pangong Tso? That was a Valley this is about a few 'fingers'. The Valley, the Lake, the Fingers are all part of a region that the Indian government promised recently to win back : Aksai Chin.
