Siachen glacier,Indian army and me - Ritesh Arya
In 2002 I was doing a drilling project to develop groundwater at Field research laboratory Partapur in Nubra Valley for Defence Reseach development Organisation (DRDO) to provide drinking water to the troops stationed there on one hand and on the other provide warm water to increase thier agricultural production
Met Major Bhoporai of 4 Engineers who was upset as the water supply scheme planned by him for Siachen went for a 6 due to floods.
When i ashed him I wanted to go to Siachen he said either I had to be a defence minister or a soldier in the army.
But when I told him that i can give him 24 hours 365 days in Siachen ...he was surprised and the next morning I was in Siachen fullfing thier water requirement on sustainable basis and drilling the 1st borewell in the snout of Siachen glacier in the Karakoram range
Borewell drilled have given continuous water since then even in winters when temperatures drop to minus 40 degrees
