SIACHEN GLACIER

SIACHEN GLACIER

 

Area map of the glacier.

Siachen was an empty space inside Pakistan territory along the Kashmir where no man had ever ventured. India wanted to keep an eye and wanted control on Pakistan's strategic route to China (the Karakorum Highway). In April 1984, India conducted an operation known as 'Operation Meghdoot', and INVADED Pakistani territory.

Since Siachen Glacier is not physically connected to India which means that there is no natural ground route connecting India and Siachen Glacier, India used its Air Force to drop all of its forces at Siachen Glacier. Still to this day uses helicopters and aircrafts to transport supplies, food and soldiers.
