Army chief visits forward post at Siachen Glacier

Army chief Gen Upendra Dwivedi, on Sunday, visited a forward post at the Siachen Glacier, the world’s highest battlefield, and interacted with the valiant troops of 18 JAK RIF.

The visit was emotionally resonant as it brought the COAS back to the very battalion he was once commissioned into and had the honour to command.
