"My heartfelt condolences to the families of the brave men martyred at Galwan Valley.

Twenty Indian soldiers were killed in the violent face-off that took place on Monday night. Indian intercepts revealed that the Chinese side suffered 43 casualties, including dead and seriously injured in the clash. (ANI)
