China is presssing families of soldiers killed in a clash with Indian troops in Galwan Valley mid-June not not to conduct public burials or funerals, according to a US media report quoting American intelligence assessment.

In mid-June, Indian troops were attacked by Chinese troops in the Galvan Valley of Ladakh. In this, 20 Indian soldiers were martyred.

The Indian soldiers were killed when they were attacked by an iron rod with nails and a strong current of water. However, more than 40 Chinese soldiers were killed in the bravery shown by the Indian soldiers who survived the attack. These soldiers were martyred by China.

The Chinese government has been pressuring the families of the slain soldiers not to bury them.

The incident, which took place east of Ladakh on June 15, caused damage to both sides. Several soldiers were injured. India had openly admitted that 20 of its soldiers had been martyred. The last homage was paid to these soldiers and their funeral processions were also taken out in their villages.

Not only that, but China has not released the number of soldiers killed as it will spread discontent among the people. The Communist Party is cruel to the people, but it is also considered a sign of inferiority towards soldiers who have sacrificed for the country.

Families who have lost their loved ones are being mistreated by the Chinese government. On the one hand, while the number of soldiers killed is hidden, families are forbidden to bury them.

According to US News, China does not accept that its troops were killed by Indian troops. Because Beijing's biggest mistake is to hide. The attack was carried out by underestimating the Indian soldiers. This attack could have been avoided.

China has said the news of the deaths of two military officials is true. At least 43 Chinese soldiers were killed and several others were seriously injured. Another US intelligence report says 35 Chinese soldiers have been killed.

The Chinese Ministry of Civil Affairs told the families of the soldiers killed in the Galvan Valley that the soldiers should be cremated in the traditional way. But it should be done far away from your home so that no one other than the family participates in it
