Avalanche just two days ago in Siachen left eight people dead in the snow, killing four of them. Amidst this scenario, the situation is becoming more and more confusing given the increasing death of the Siachen. According to a report, 873 Jawans have been martyred in Siachen since 1984.

Siachen is considered to be the tallest war zone in the world, about 20 thousand feet high in Siachen is extremely cold and freezing ice. In the midst of such a situation, military personnel are guarding the country there.

Although weather in this area is often reversed and avalanches occur, which can lead to death from falling in the snow, defending the country by persisting in the midst of such conditions. However, the statistics which have come out against the deaths of the soldiers are extremely worrying.

Since 1984, 873 people have been martyred in Siachen due to inclement weather or natural disasters. Which is believed to be more than the number of soldiers killed in attacks and shootings by Pakistan.

Particularly when visiting this area for patrol, there is an avalanche or avalanche, which is followed by trapping snow. At present, the situation is so pervasive that the area is more vulnerable to weather than the enemy countries.

It is estimated that about 2,500 Indians and Pakistanis in Siachen have lost their lives. When an avalanche hit Pakistan in 2012, 124 Pakistanis and 11 civilians were killed. In 1984 an army base was built in the area. Since then, 873 Indian soldiers have lost their lives in Siachen.

This means that the weather in this area is a threat to both India and Pakistan. There have been many incidents like avalanche since Pakistan did not martyr in the shootings or attacks. For years, the demand has been raised by the government to take proper steps and make good arrangements for departure.
