NEW DELHI: Defence Minister Rajnath Singh<\/a> on Monday visited Siachen, the world’s highest battlefield, and reviewed India’s overall military preparedness in the region.<\/p>\n

Singh’s visit to Siachen came over a week after the Indian Army marked the 40th year of its presence in the strategically key region.<\/p>\n

The defence minister, accompanied by Army Chief Gen Manoj Pande<\/a>, reviewed the overall security situation<\/a> in the region, officials said.<\/p>\n

Singh also interacted with the soldiers deployed in Siachen.<\/p>\n

The Siachen glacier, which is at a height of around 20,000 feet in the Karakoram range, is known as the highest militarised zone in the world where the soldiers have to battle frostbite and high winds.<\/p>\n

Under its ‘Operation Meghdoot’ the Indian Army established its full control over the Siachen Glacier in April, 1984.<\/p>\n

The Indian Army strengthened its presence in Siachen over the last few years.<\/p>\n

In January last year, Captain Shiva Chauhan from the Army’s Corps of Engineers was posted at a frontline post in Siachen Glacier, in the first such operational deployment of an woman Army officer at the key battlefield.<\/p>\n

”The Indian Army’s control over Siachen Glacier has not only been a story of unparalleled valour and determination but also an incredible journey of technological advancements and logistical improvements that transformed it from one of the most formidable terrains into a symbol of indomitable spirit and innovation,” an Army official had said last week.<\/p>\n
