The disengagement process was carried out over two days - from August 4 to August 5. The troops of both sides are now in their respective permanent bases.
The Army said Friday that India and China had completed force withdrawal from the Gogra region of eastern Ladakh after a year-long "sensitive" standoff.
The disengagement procedure, which included both sides removing all temporary structures and other associated infrastructure and returning the landform to its pre-stand-off state, took place over two days, on August 4 and 5, according to the Army.
