Please add the name of Lt. Gen. Ramesh Kulkarni who bravely led the war on site in Siachen from 1987 to 1995.

Change the name of the unit involved in the 2016 avalanche from 6 Madras to 19 Madras. I can cite several sources for this claim, apart from the fact that a family member of mine serves in 19 Madras and was there during the avalanche. MyHugeDeck (talk) 06:38, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Suggesting a citation for the German Expedition under Oropolitics section

Dear Author,

The Orpolitics section mentions about the Expedition to the longest glacier in the following paragraph:

In 1978 a German Siachen-Kondus Expedition under the leadership of Jaroslav Poncar (further members Volker Stallbohm and Wolfgang Kohl, liaison officer major Asad Raza) entered Siachen via Bilafond La and established the base camp on the confluence of Siachen and Teram Shehr. The documentary "Expedition to the longest glacier" was shown on the 3rd channel of WDR (German TV) in 1979.[citation needed]

Sharing an article for the citation - https://www.orfonline.org/research/the-siachen-story-the-inadvertent-role-of-two-german-explorers-in-starting-the-race-to-the-world-s-highest-battlefield

The article talks about the German Expedition. Please consider adding the same to the article 223.190.81.158 (talk) 05:21, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the suggestion, I've added the reference in the section Waleed (talk) 16:57, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
