Siachen Tour

India cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni will on Tuesday begin a two-day tour of the frontier Ladakh region during which he will visit Siachen glacier - the highest battleground of the world, a defence spokesman said here on Monday.

The sudden visit of Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari and his son Bilawal to India has invited ire from their political opponents in Pakistan with cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan questioning the timing of the tour, when the country was faced with a tragedy of the 135 soldiers missing in an avalanche in the Siachen glacier.
