To drive on the roads of Northern Areas, Gilgat, Sawat and Murree etc...you must be an expert driver....because the roads are very high and dangerous...sometimes you have to hold your breath while making turns on the road....a small mistake can put your vehicle down deep in valley....

Enough this "sympathy " BS - what you ought to be doing is asking why these soldiers were not in Army transport or Air force transport?? Why do we keep treating our own as if thjeir lives are worth less then nothing -- yes, yes, do your "correct" BS, but with it could also ask that steps betaken to avoid the possibility of such events? Too much to ask for ?? back to your stupor inducing magic language

One word...less logistics involved.

It is much easier to arrange civilian transport on contract for moving troops after a holiday/vacation/leave to a post in High northern areas than getting a military coaster.

Heli might have been used though...
