Avalanche traps about 150 Pakistani soldiers

..........
Meanwhile during physical inspection of the area, some equipment was found..............

This may be an indication that the recovery operation is close to the area where remains may be found. I am sure they must be proceeding with extreme care to ensure respect.

What is the update on this?

Still they have not been able to reach the soldiers ?

Will it not be a good idea to just fence off the area and declare a war memorial or something of that sort.

l

Wtf how is it a war memorial?? Its a natural calamity. How come calamities like earthquakes and avalanche be equal to war?

Memorial ok. War memorial not ok.

do understand that alive or dead, the work will continue.......families want their dead back, and the comrades of those martyred will see to it that this is what happens....even if they have to bring down the damn area to find them

zulficaar that is a very very hard thing to achieve in short term of few weeks. Given that the sheer volume of rubble and snow is billions of tonnes. It will take many more months or even years to dig aside that much volume of rocks and ice imo.

Better to leave the dead ones rest in pieace at that place.

Some islamic rituials may be performed to please the relatives so that they too are relieved of anxiousness. And sort of proper islamic mass burial takes place so why not do it. I compltelyn agree with vcheng sirs view on this JMT.

Siachen avalanche clearance update - thenews.com.pk

RAWALPINDI: Clearance efforts continued round the clock at Gayari Sector in Siachen since the avalanche hit the camp more than a month ago, Geo News reported.



Simultaneous efforts are being undertaken to tackle effects of water on the site in the shape of pondages, cutting and crevasses. The water has started draining and has resulted into quick reduction of water level in the lake to the tune of 27 feet.



Excavation work has resumed its full pace despite difficulties posed by seepage of the water at the sites, hazards of crevasses / cutting by water and sinking effects for plant equipment.



Meanwhile during physical inspection of the area, some equipment was found.

Siachen tragedy: Body of one missing soldier recovered from Gayari – The Express Tribune

The search and rescue operation for the 140 soldiers and contractors buried at Gayari met relative success on its 50th day as the body of one soldier was recovered from the Siachen, Express News reported.
Express News correspondent Mohammad Afzal reported early Sunday morning that rescue officials working round the clock to recover the 140 soldiers and contractors buried by an avalanche on April 7, had first discovered a check post for the residential barracks of soldiers.
More discoveries are now expected over the next few days.
The last official dispatch from Inter-Service Public Relation on May 22, said that clearance efforts were underway round the clock.
Simultaneous efforts are being undertaken to tackle effects of water on the site in the shape of ponds, cutting and crevasses. The water has started draining and has resulted in quick reduction of water levels in the lake up to 27 feet.
Excavation work has resumed its full pace despite difficulties posed by seepage of the water at the sites, hazards of crevasses, cutting by water and sinking effects for digging equipment.
Meanwhile during physical inspection of the area, some equipment had been found.
ISPR had reported that Ground Penetrating Rader (GPR) teams took readings at 26 different points and identified eight sites for further search.
“A 300-feet long course has been hauled over the avalanche for restoration of the channel by employing dozers,” the release quoted an official.
More than 450 rescuers, including foreign teams, have been working in sub-zero temperatures at the site since the incident, though experts have said there is little chance of finding any survivors.

To the contrary all Pakistan affairs are handled and commented by US generals.
Apparently, US foreign minister is avoiding to confront Pakistani foreign minister, for unknown reasons.
