Army Colonel, 2 jawans killed in violent face-off with Chinese troops in Ladakh 


A Colonel-rank officer and two soldiers of the Indian Army were killed in a "violent face-off" with Chinese troops in the Galwan Valley area of Ladakh on Monday night. The officer was commanding an infantry battalion of the Army. The face-off took place during efforts to de-escalate the prevailing tensions along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh.

Casualities have also taken place on the Chinese side, the Army said.



In an official statement, the Army said, "During the de-escalation process underway in the Galwan Valley, a violent face-off took place yesterday (Monday) night with casualties on both sides. The loss of lives on the Indian side includes an officer and two soldiers."

The statement added that senior military officials of the two sides are currently meeting at the venue to defuse the situation.

Details of what exactly led to the violent face-off are not clear at the moment. Speaking to India Today TV, defence sources privy to the development said no bullets were fired during the face-off. The sources said stones and metal clubs were used to attack the soldiers and they succumbed to their injuries.

Meanwhile in New Delhi, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh held a meeting with Chief of Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat, the three service chiefs and External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar to discuss the recent developments in eastern Ladakh.

On the other hand, China has accused India of crossing the border. In a report news agency AFP said China has confirmed the Monday-night incident and accused India of crossing the border and "attacking" Chinese troops.

Python Language Part-1

 What is Python? Python refers to the Python programming language (with syntax rules for writing what is considered valid Python code) and the Python interpreter software that reads source code (written in the Python language) and performs its instructions. The Python interpreter is free to download from http://python.org/, and there are versions for Linux, OS X, and Windows. The name Python comes from the surreal British comedy group Monty Python, not from the snake. Python programmers are affectionately called Pythonistas, and both Monty Python and serpentine references usually pepper Python tutorials and documentation. The Python programming language has a wide range of syntactical constructions, standard library functions, and interactive development environment features. Fortunately, you can ignore most of that; you just need to learn enough to write some handy little programs. What is SHELL? Shell is one of the core part in our system, which is very helpful because it acts a

 Flow Control Boolean Values:-  While the integer, floating-point, and string data types have an unlimited number of possible values, the Boolean data type has only two values: True and False. (Boolean is capitalized because the data type is named after mathematician George Boole.) When typed as Python code, the Boolean values True and False lack the quotes you place around strings, and they always start with a capital T or F, with the rest of the word in lowercase. Enter the following into the interactive shell. (Some of these instructions are intentionally incorrect, and they’ll cause error messages to appear). >>> spam = True  >>> spam  True  >>> true  Traceback (most recent call last):  File " ", line 1, in true   NameError: name 'true' is not defined w  >>> True = 2 + 2  SyntaxError: assignment to keyword Comparison Operators  Comparison operators compare two values and evaluate down to a single Boolean value.  ==  Equal to  !=
