Share markets in India have erased all the early gains and are presently trading on a volatile note as investors panicked over the escalating border tensions.
Reportedly, Chinese troops have killed three Indian soldiers, including the Commanding Officer of a battalion at Galwan valley in a violent faceoff on Monday night, heightening tensions on the border to such levels since 1975, when four Assam Rifles troopers had been ambushed.
Sources said that the Commanding Officer, a Junior Commissioned Officer and a soldier were killed in a violent skirmish perpetrated by the Chinese side that have refused to leave the Galwan valley and are sitting inside Indian territory.
