In civilized countries, those who guard the nation from the high mountains are provided with all kinds of safety gadgets like Flare-guns, Safety balloons ( which get inflated in seconds, protecting the body from impact) ,Helium-filled small balloons which float above the ice to locate the buried soldiers ). If the present govt. is really bothered about such incidents, it would have provided such equipment to all soldiers there, to save their precious lives.What prevails in the pathetic Defence Ministry is sheer "baboo(n) thinking" . No ideas !!
Dear Shekhar, do we have leaders in sub-continent to think and go for larger normalization unless some untoward befalls them. Our leaders are intelligent fire-fighters, playing in the hands of vested interests. Shafiq Ahmed , Kashmir.
