Belgaum (Karnataka), Dec 15 (ANI): China's People's Liberation Army troops departed from Belgaum after concluding a joint anti-terrorism exercise with India on Sunday.
Chinese troops will touch down at the Lohegaon Air Base in Pune before their final departure for China.

The joint drill, named "Hand in Hand 2008", was held here from December 6 and continued until 14 December.
