The
tragic incident of 7th April avalanche that hit the battalion HQ of
6NLI battalion of Pakistan Army in Gyari sector of Siachen trapping 139 Pakistani
troops and civilians has traumatized the entire nation. Pakistan Army is
desperately trying to reach the trapped persons under the 80 feet high and one
square kilometer wide pile of rubble, rock, snow and ice in a rescue operation
in an unforgiving weather and constant snow falling at a height of 14,000 feet
from sea level. The incident was the
worst catastrophe since 1984 when India illegally occupied Siachen glacier and
Saltoro ridge to its southwest.
