The body of another missing soldier of the 5 PARA (Special Forces) of the Indian Army was recovered on Friday afternoon in the upper reaches of Kokernag in South Kashmir.
The body of one of the two soldiers, who had gone missing after a snowstorm on Monday in the dense Gadol forests of Kokernag, where they were engaged in a search operation, was recovered yesterday.
Security forces had intensified the search operation to trace the two soldiers who went missing after a snowstorm on the intervening night of 6-7 October.
The bodies of the two soldiers have been found following a massive search and rescue operation launched soon after communication was lost with the two personnel during bad weather conditions in the Ahlan Gadole forest area.
Both soldiers were part of a special operation team conducting anti-terrorist searches in the snowbound heights.
Recovery of the bodies has brought an end to the massive search operation by the Army, CRPF, and J&K Police that continued for four days despite rough terrain and freezing temperatures.
