Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh celebrated the 40th anniversary of operation Meghdoot at Siachen glacier in Ladakh, stating that soldiers are like deities protecting the nation from enemies. Singh emphasized that Siachen is a sacred temple that exemplifies national determination and courage. The glacier, at 20,000 feet in the Karakoram range, is the highest battlefield in the world, where armed forces must fight both the enemy and frost bites due to harsh climate.
