As the border conflict along the Line of Control (LAC) with China rages on, people in Jammu have decided to boycott Chinese goods.

People were seen buying indigenously manufactured `Boycott China` face masks to fight coronavirus.

"I have got masks imprinted with favourite characters of my children. At least they will wear it happily," a customer told ANI.

These masks which are being sold in various markets in Kasmir have slogans like Boycott Made in China" and "Boycott Red China" written on them.

After Galwan valley clash with China,`Boycott China` masks are in huge demand, said Amit, a shop owner in Srinagar, to ANI.

20 Indian jawans were killed in violent border clashes with Chinese troops in eastern Ladakh's Galway Valley.

It is the first incident involving the casualty of an Indian soldier in a violent clash with the Chinese Army after 1975 when four Indian soldiers were killed in an ambush at Tulung La in Arunachal Pradesh.

Indian intercepts revealed that the Chinese side suffered 43 casualties including dead and seriously injured, ANI reported citing sources.
