The grandson of Ghulam Rasool Galwan, after whom the Galwan Valley was named, Amin Galwan said on Thursday that a "war between India and China is not a solution and the issue should be resolved with talks".
The memorial has been built at the unit level near the KM-120 post on the strategic road Durbuk-Shyok-Daulat Beg Oldie, Ladakh. The memorial has names of 20 soldiers and the details of the June 15 operation.
At present, the Chinese Army has diverted its troops carrying out a massive exercise on their side of the LAC and deployed them at short notice across the Line of Actual Control in the areas under the Indian Army's 81 and 114 Brigades deployed to counter the Chinese assertions from Daulat Beg Oldie and adjoining areas.
"After the Major General-level talks on Wednesday, the talks are expected to be held over the next few days in Chushul at multiple levels to find solutions to the dispute in specific areas," sources said.
'China did not expect India to show such strategic resolve in defending its territorial integrity.'
'I am ashamed we are dealing with such adversaries.'
Weidong said India and China "should live in peace and avoid conflicts."
India recently outflanked China by taking control of strategic height near Pangong lake's southern bank.
This is the first time that the defence ministry has admitted officially about the transgressions by the Chinese troops.
The talks between the two sides have been going on for the last three months including five Lieutenant General-level talks but have failed to yield any results, so far.
'We have to be prepared on the borders to withstand Chinese expansionist designs.'
Chinese troops have been camping in the Finger area for over three months now and have even started fortifying their bases there with construction of bunkers and sangars.
'India's behaviour violated agreements...It's a serious military provocation'
'The Chinese are retaining geostrategic pressure on India by keeping troops there and building infrastructure continually.'
'India has to prepare for future warfare where kinetic use of force at the border will be limited. War will take place in the realms beyond the border.'
'India's move has grossly violated China's territorial sovereignty, seriously violated relevant agreements, protocols and important consensus reached between the two countries'
'The Chinese have been moving in step by step; inch by inch for the last 40 years.'
'Once positions are hardened and troops start building defences, it is difficult for soldiers to step back.'
'The missile mounted near Kailash-Mansarovar is called DF-21. It is a medium-range, 2,200 kilometres ballistic missile. Its advantage is that it can cover all cities of north India, including New Delhi'
