India and Chinese troops had clashed in Galwan Valley on June 15-16 in which 20 Indian soldiers were killed in action. PTI sources said defence minister during a meeting with top military commanders ordered troops to maintain a strict vigil on Chinese activities at the border.

China's People's Liberation Army hasn't yet revealed its causality figures even as the state-run Global Times last week had said there were casualties on the Chinese side.

Air Chief Marshal Bhadauria on Saturday said the IAF is "well prepared" and "suitably deployed" to counter any security challenges along the border with China amid reports of Indian fighter jets and troops being moved to the border.
