Srinagar, June 16 (UNI) The Indian Army on Monday paid tributes to soldiers who died in the Galwan valley clash with Chinese soldiers in 2020.

A commanding officer was among 20 Indian soldiers who were martyred in a deadly clash at Galwan with China's People's Liberation Army troops in Eastern Ladakh on June 15, 2020. An unspecified number of Chinese soldiers were also killed in hand-to-hand combat.
