Chinese troops 'detain' Indian porters in eastern Ladakh

In another transgression by China, troops from the People's Liberation Army (PLA) took three Indian porters and their mules into custody on December 4 in the Chumar area in Eastern Ladakh. The porters were released by the PLA troops on December 11 only after the Indian Army intervened through the hotline and a flag meeting between local commanders was held.
