The Maharashtra government has put three agreements worth Rs 5,000 crore signed with Chinese firms on hold last week. The deal were signed at Magnetic Maharashtra 2.0 investor virtual meet which was attended by Chinese ambassador Sun Weidong.

There was a violent clash between the Indian Army and the Chinese troops at Galwan Valley in eastern Ladakh on June 15 night.  20 Indian Army soldiers lost their lives in the clash. Hence, the business deals which were signed hours before the clashed were freezed.

Following the violent India-China border clash, the call for boycotting of Chinese goods and services has been resonating across the country.
