India hits back Pak over Siachen
India hits back at Pak over Siachen
NEW DELHI: India on Monday lashed out at Pakistan for being irked over the civilian expedition to Siachen.We don't need Pak's approval to send trekkers to Siachen. The trekkers are going as part of the Indian delegation, a report in Times Now quoted government officials as saying.This is not the first time that an expedition has gone to Siachen. An Indo-French group has already been there, the report added.
Pakistan has summoned the Indian Deputy High Commissioner over the trek.The 22-day excursion is the first in a series of initiatives to promote tourism in the territory. The trekkers will be accompanied by a team of military cadets.Three of them are from Mumbai marketing professional Mukund Deodhar, management professor Charuhas Joshi and public relations consultant Balakrishna Pillai. All are avid mountaineers and trekkers who have already scaled heights higher than Siachen.
However, it is kilometre upon kilometre of sheer icy terrain with no sign of vegetation that will pose a challenge this time. On Monday, they leave for Leh where they will receive training that will prepare them for 22 days in the chilly, dry climate.
