Siachen Glacier—A Triangular Wedge In The Pakistan, China Threat At The World's Third Pole In Ladakh
Siachen Glacier—A Triangular Wedge In The Pakistan, China Threat At The World's Third Pole In Ladakh
The Siachen Glacier is a critical, strategic triangle that India has wedged between Pakistan and China. India foiled Pakistan's preparations to militarily occupy the Siachen Glacier with ‘Operation Meghdoot’ in April 1984, pre-empting Operation Ababeel. In Episode IX of 'The Himalayan Frontier', a StratNews Global team of Amitabh P. Revi, Rohit Pandita, and Karan Marwaha travels from Leh, Ladakh's capital to the Siachen Base Camp to document the strategic synergy between the Indian Army and the Indian Air Force (IAF) in dealing with the Pakistan, China two-front threat around Siachen. The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) is also completing the Sasoma-Saser La-Saser Brangsa-Gapshan-Daulat Beg Oldie (DBO) Road in the region. It is a connectivity link that is the world’s first glaciated road and an alternate axis for the Darbuk-Shyok-Daulat Beg Oldie (DSDBO) road to the Indian Army's northernmost base-DBO.
