Chief of Army Staff of India Army, General Upendra Dwivedi said, “We want to go back to status quo of April 2020. Thereafter we will be looking at disengagement de-escalation, normal management of LAC and this normal management of LAC won’t stop there and there are many phases in that also. As of now what has happened we are trying to restore the trust. It will get restored once we are able to see each other and we are able to convince each other, look the buffer zone which are there, which have been created, we are not creeping and both have to reassure each other.
