Names of the 20 Indian soldiers who were killed in the Galwan Valley in eastern Ladakh on June 15 have been inscribed on a war memorial in eastern Ladakh to honour them, said officials on Saturday.
The Indian Army memorial has come up at ‘KM-120’, a point near the confluence of the Galwan and Shyok rivers.
Colonel B Santosh Babu, the commanding officer of 16 Bihar, was among the 20 soldiers killed in the seven-hour conflict near Patrolling Point 14. Beijing has not disclosed the number of fatalities it suffered in the Valley clash but according to India’s assessment, the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) suffered twice as many casualties.
