Siachen - A War For Ice
A war for a few meters of rock and ice. This film deals with the story of the little known and most absurd war on our planet: the conflict has been going on for over twenty years to achieve control over the Siachenglacier, at the far North of the Indian-Pakistan border. The goal is to gain the control over a few hundred square kilometers of ice and rocks in the heart of the Karakorum Range.

Great battles - Indian army in siachen glacier 1 of 3
The Siachen Glacier is located in the eastern Karakoram range in the Himalaya Mountains at about 35.5°N 77.0°E, just east of the Line of Control between India-Pakistan. India controls all of the Siachen Glacier itself, including all tributary glaciers. At 70 km (43 mi) long, it is the longest glacier in the Karakoram and second-longest in the world's non-polar areas. It falls from an altitude of 5753 m (18875 ft) above sea level at its head at Indira Col (pass) on the China border down to 3620 m (11875 ft) at its terminus. The Siachen Glacier lies immediately south of the great watershed that separates China from the Indian subcontinent in the extensively glaciated portion of the Karakoram that is sometimes called the "Third Pole." The glacier lies between the Saltoro Ridge immediately to the west and the main Karakoram range to the east. The Saltoro Ridge originates in the north from the Sia Kangri peak on the China border in the Karakoram range. The crest of the Saltoro Ridge's altitudes range from 5450 to 7720 m (17880 to 25330 feet). The major passes on this ridge are, from north to south, Sia La at 5589 m (18336 ft), Bilafond La at 5450 m (17880 ft), and Gyong La at 5689 m (18665 ft) The average winter snowfall is 10.5 m (35 ft) and temperatures can dip to −50 °C (−58.0 °F). Including all tributary glaciers, the Siachen Glacier system covers about 700 km2 (270 sq mi). The Siachen Glacier boasts the world's highest helipad, built by India. The world's highest <b>...</b>

The Siachen Syndrome - Pakistan
The Siachen Syndrome - Pakistan
Aug 1998 It's a battlefield like no other on earth, where the elements and not enemy fire accounts for 95% of all casualties. A cease fire line was mapped out in the lower country but the politicians didn't bother to negotiate a boundary here. It is after all, uninhabitable. But as the power struggle escalates, every bit of territory counts. The high altitude combat is costing each side $730 million dollars a year. At 19000 feet both sides lose on average two soldiers a day to oxygen deprivation or frostbite. Those that are tough enough to survive often go mad with the 'Siachen Syndrome' - a result of the isolation, the constant bombardment, and the grim reality of having to kill the only other human beings they may see in their three month posting. Caught in the crossfire, a shell explodes overhead. Aimed at the small valley town of Athamuqam, these shells are designed to spray hundreds of deadly metal fragments. India's test of a nuclear artillery shell has the population daily expecting armaggeddon. We meet a truck-full of Kashmiris fleeing the besieged town in search of food. There is nothing low-key about this fighting, it's incessant and deadly. The K2 postings are a lesson in the lengths India and Pakistan are prepared to go, to secure the next victory in Kashmir.

Siachin Chumik Operation 1989 - Pakistan Army
The Raid : On 30 April 1989 , a raiding party consisting of 11 persons including 4 officers was organized by Major Abdul Rehman Bilal. The party closed in with enemy machine gun position at approximately 1900 hours. The fire was opened which caught enemy by surprise. However, enemy soon retaliated with small arms and rocket fire. Own troops were relatively safe since Kamran Post was protected by a boulder. The raiding party in the meantime inflicted heavy damages to the enemy. This final blow forced enemy to withdraw asking for a meeting where almost all of our terms were accepted. The area was vacated and declared as de-militarized zone.

Tribute to Siachen Soldiers
Tribute to Siachen Soldiers
about life on Siachin Glacier, also known as the third Pole for the largest mass of ice outside of the North and South Poles. Siachin is among he most beautiful, enigmatic and spell-binding places on earth. It lies at more than 5500m above sea level in the disputed region of Kashmir. This frozen stagnant Landscape is nothing short of Divine Art. The tranquility of this beautiful place was disturbed in 1984 by an Indian incursion, transforming it into the highest battle field on earth. This war was unlike any other. The soldiers had to fight two enemies: the opposing Indian soldiers and the hostile weather. More soldiers on both sides have died from the extreme cold than from enemy fire. In spite of repeated discussions, the two sides have failed to overcome their differences on pulling back troops from the worlds highest battlefield. Pakistan Zindabad Pak Army Paindabad.

COAS General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani orders inquiry into footage showing execution of civilians
COAS General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani orders inquiry into footage showing execution of civilians
Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani ordered inquiry into a video footage showing cold-blooded execution of civilians by personnel clad in Pakistan Army uniforms. General Kayani has ordered setting up of a board of inquiry to be headed by a two star general to establish the true identity of uniformed personnel and the veracity of the video footage. He will be assisted by two/three senior officers with the experience of investigating into such incidents. Necessary technical expertise will be made available to the board. ''It is not expected of a professional army to engage in excesses against the people whom it is trying to guard against the scourge of terrorism,'' the COAS said, though he cautioned that militants had in the past posed as soldiers. The two clips were apparently shot by cell phones and have been circulating on the Internet. The footage is grainy and shows no time stamps, and part of the army inquiry's mission is to determine whether those shown in uniform were actually soldiers. Well-placed sourced informed that either the Director General Military Operations (DGMO) or General Officer Commanding (GOC) of the suspected region would head the inquiry board. Sources were of the view that since the said video footage is suspected to have link to the military operation in Swat and Malakand region, there was greater likelihood that GOC of that region might lead the inquiry board.
