Army Plans To Open Siachen Glacier For Civilians To Visit As Ladakh Separates From J&K

Months after the government announced its decision to declare Ladakh a Union Territory, India is now planning to allow common people to visit the world’s highest battlefield, Siachen Glacier.

Army sources said allowing civilians at the closely guarded Siachen Glacier would help people see the difficulties and daily challenges faced by personnel of the Indian Army who man the area in extremely harsh weather conditions.

The sources also said that Army chief General Bipin Rawat has said that people have developed a keen interest in the Army life and its ways.
