“I am proud of all Army personnel serving in Siachen who are leaving no stone unturned to defend our motherland. I will personally send a thank you note to them,” said Mr. Singh. Mr. Singh made an aerial reconnaissance of Siachen to get acquainted with the expanse of the formidable frozen frontier and landed at one of the forward posts there, said an official. He also laid a wreath at the ‘Siachen War Memorial’ in memory of the soldiers who have made the supreme sacrifice. Sources said the Army’s top brass briefed the Minister about the border situation in Kashmir and Jammu regions.
