The world's tallest battlefield has come up against a sad news from Siachen Glacier. Siachen Glacier has a widespread avalanche. Indian army soldiers deployed there were also in a jugged avalanche. Three soldiers were martyred in the accident. A rescue team was sent to the spot immediately after the military officials received information about the avalanche. The rescue team started relief and rescue operations. Under bad weather and adverse conditions, soldiers are strongly deployed in the area and protect India's borders against enemies.
The Siachen Glacier is called the world's tallest battlefield. This is a very cold area. Where the snow storm is a major challenge for soldiers. The area comes in the eastern part of the Karakoram range in the Ladakh region. Speaking of the height of this area, it is about 54,000 meters, or about 18000 feet above sea level. Some areas of Siachen Glacier are 7,500 meters high, about 24000 feet high.
The total length of the Siachen Glacier is 76 km, the second largest non-polar glacier in the world. The temperature here goes down to -50 degrees during the winter. The Siachen region is also important on the Indian border as it is located on the triangular border of India-Pakistan and China. This area is very sensitive from a strategic point of view.
Are deployed after special training
In 1984, under Operation Meghdut, the Indian Army established control over the entire glacier. The Indian army has since been deployed here. The responsibility of the security of this area is under 14 Indian Army's 14 corps (Leh). The Siachen Brigade (102 Infantry Brigade) is deployed here on the next posts. Other units are also deployed in different areas. Soldiers are given special war on altitudes here.
