Leh/New Delhi: The stand-off in Demchok area of Ladakh continued for the 10th day today with Chinese nomads now reported to have erected tents with the help of Chinese Army inside Indian territory to protest against an ongoing irrigation canal work.

As the BJP MP from Ladakh Thupstan Chewang termed the action as a "mean move by the Chinese Army" ahead of Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit to India beginning tomorrow, the situation at the Demchok remained unchanged with Chinese civilians refusing to vacate the Indian territory until the work on construction of an irrigation canal was stopped.
