Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived at Leh in Ladakh on Friday on a short visit against the backdrop of tensions between India and China along the border.
The visit comes two weeks after 20 soldiers were killed in a violent clash at Galwan Valley, one of the points of friction along the border. Modi arrived in Leh, headquarters of the Indian Army’s 14 Corps, along with the chief of defence staff Bipin Rawat.
