Siachen

The word Siachen, the purpose of army in Siachen, the cause, everything was unknown to me until the incident of the 135 soldiers took place over there. Then things started to unravel and all the above questions were answered. The electronic media played an important role in relating the incident. It is through this media that many people get to know the latest happenings in the country.

I realized that we are so out of touch with our country happenings. We ignore the struggle that our army men do to protect our country. Last night I saw the repeat telecast of the morning show aired at HUM TV. The coverage, the discussion all was very heartening to hear and view. The soldiers up in Siachen lose their senses due to extreme cold weather and still they strive towards going there again and again. The frostbites discussed and shown was again very heartening and all these things increase the respect of our Pak soldiers to a high extent.

The search for the 135 soldiers is still under process. 3 weeks have passed since the incident took place.  The digging of the ice still continues with the hope that they can get to the soldiers buried under the ice. Working and digging in such stringent conditions is a very difficult task.  

I read the article on Siachen issue by Javed Chaudhry, the link is as follows:

He has given a detail insight on how life is at Siachen. Our brave soldiers deserve a salute for their bravery and determination to protect our beloved country.

May Allah (S.W.T) bless all the Pak soldiers. Ameen.

I hope and pray that the entire country realizes the valuable services that these soldiers provide us.
