Siachen Rescue Operation

Lance Naik Hanamanthappa Koppad, who is in a critical condition after miraculously surviving six days buried under snow on the Siachen glacier in Jammu and Kashmir, chose difficult areas over "peace" postings and fought for 10 years in conflict areas.

Bodies of all the eight remaining soldiers were today recovered from the huge mass of ice on Siachen Glacier, seven days after they got buried under an avalanche that hit their high altitude military post.
