Meanwhile, India and China on Thursday exchanged sweets at several border points along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) on the occasion of Diwali. Army sources said that on the occasion of Diwali on Thursday, soldiers of India and China exchanged sweets at several border points along the Line of Actual Control (LAC).
