India may not participate in talks as Nepal is passing constitution amendment to change its map to include Indian territories

Earlier this month, Nepal PM KP Oli's cabinet had approved a new map, showing Indian areas of Limpiyadhura, Lipulekh and Kalapani as parts of Nepal

Chinese government mouthpiece Global Times says linking the evacuation of citizens to the border standoff at Ladakh will lead to 'domestic hostility' towards China, calls media reports 'far-fetched and misguided'.

A notice has been published on the Chinese embassy website which states that students, tourists and businessmen who have been stranded in India will be allowed to fly back to China on special flights

The security review by the Army Chief in the sensitive region comes a day after there were reports that China had deployed excessive troops and set up temporary tents across the Galwan river in Ladakh after a face-off near Pangong Tso on May 5-6.

The Chinese may be targetting Darbuk-Shyok-Daula Beg Oldi (DBO) Road that was constructed last year, which is a lifeline for Sub Sector North (SSN). However, India has a considerable deployment of troops in that area, unlike 1962, says the ET report.
