The Pakistan Army has recovered a body of soldier trapped under a massive avalanche at Gyari sector of Siachen Glacier.
According to Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) at least 139 Pakistan army soldiers and civilians were trapped under an avalanche.
The army later declared all the trapped soldiers as martyrs. So far 93 bodies have been found during the digging of the avalanche as the army continues its frantic efforts.
Gyari had disappeared from the main stream media but the recovery of the last body has brought it to the attention of the general public once again.
I thought of the men Pakistan Army lost many times in the last few weeks and wondered what the officers and jawans must be doing now on this recovery. I wondered that with the onset of winter if this recovery operation was going to be brought to an incomplete closure but this was not the case. There were 138 casualties and 43 are yet to be recovered in a train which is hard to excavate.
We in the west would have given up by now and contended our selves with the statement that the officers and jawans are committed to an icy grave.
Pakistan Army's un dented resolve is highly commendable.
With total lost men at 139 it will 36 more bodies to be recovered; I pray that this happens soon. Ameen
