Army chief to visit Ladakh

Indian Army Chief Bipin Rawat will on Sunday begin a three day visit to Jammu and Kashmir's Ladakh, which saw a scuffle and stone-throwing between Indian and Chinese troops, informed sources said.

Gen. Rawat will review the security in the area, and also grant an award to a unit.

The scuffle occurred on Tuesday when Chinese soldiers tried to cross the Line of Actual Control. A Border Personnel Meeting that took place on Wednesday saw both sides agree to take steps to ensure peace along the border and leave such incidents behind.
