1000 years of Madrasa education you've got and could be seen from your every post.

Have ever seen a Madarsa by your self?? Do you know what Madarsa means??? Many of your high level graduates can't compete with Madarsa graduates in fields like finance, engineering, computer science etc.

 

[Hamza913]

I'm okay with that.

 

[Hindustani78]

so after mapping such areas what steps india can take to minimize the risk?

India Meteorological Department (IMD) can easily find out at which places avalances can occur and how to protect lives of Indian citizens.

Army chief General Bipin Rawat on Sunday said climate change and heavy shelling from Pakistan are responsible for the increase in avalanches that have claimed lives of at least 15 army men since last week.

The army chief was speaking after laying wreath at the mortal remains of Major Amit Sagar, who lost his life in an avalanche that struck an army camp in Jammu and Kashmir's Gurez sector on Wednesday.

"Ceasefire violations and use of heavy weapons by Pakistani troops is leading to loosening of soil, hereby creating danger of a landslide... There have been a lot of ceasefire violations and heavy weapons too are being used," the army chief said.

He added that avalanches were being reported from areas which in the past did not have so many incidents.

Gen. Rawat said the soldiers had to be deployed at many places despite the danger of an avalanche to prevent infiltration.

"In the weather that is prevailing in Jammu and Kashmir, the soldiers have been deployed to counter the terrorists and infiltrators. They are doing their duty despite the adverse conditions," he said.

"Major Amit Sagar is an example, he volunteered to serve in the area knowing the difficult conditions," he said.

The army chief added that the bodies of the soldiers that were martyred are still in Jammu and Kashmir because of the weather conditions, but all efforts are being made to bring them down.

"I want to assure the families of soldiers affected by avalanche in Jammu and Kashmir that we are with them," Rawat said.

He said the army withdraws troops from places where there is possibility of an avalanche. However, some posts are vulnerable to insurgency.

"We are working with Snow and Avalanche Study Establishment to map avalanches so that we are better prepared and can move troops in case of danger," he said.

At least 15 soldiers were killed after two avalanches hit a military post and a patrol team along the Line of Control (LoC) in last few days.

@Areesh @Windjammer

@DESERT FIGHTER what type of artillery is deployed in Kashmir sector?
Is it 155mm? And use some ''Earth Shaking'' type shells? Or we have become pioneer in ''avalanche strategy''?

That could be true for avalanches/landslides in Machil, Tangdhar and Poonch sector.

But this particular avalanche in which 14 Army personnel died happened in northern part of gurez sector.
Gurez sector has seen only 2-3 low level cross border firing in the past 6 months that too all in its southern part of sector near Kishen Ganga Hydroelectric Power Project (KGHEPP)

Lol okay. Feel good to study there then.
I've got nothing against you or anybody else just gets off seeing some knuckle heads trying to suppress the other

How old is Hinduism and in 2017 you still drink cow urine. Shower in cow urine and think there is a monkey army protecting your borders.

PLEASE NOTE MONKEYS ARE SMARTER THAN THE AVERAGE INDIAN

Quoting me won't get you anywhere.
Whole world knows what is the standard of Pakistan and the only thing you guys can do is fake a win in war and insult others and cry for Kashmir for the so called Muslim hood and Not giving a single shit for the poor lads in Yemen and Syria/Iraq.
Go tell your army to jump off in these areas to protect the so called ummah hood.

Really can a person live so long? @django

Level of stupidness and expansionist behavior can be transferred from ancestors as seen from the spread of Islamic in other parts of the world since its birth

Not believe that we are involved in those avalanches in anyway but good and a positive development if its true.

Don't believe in this guy's BS. Bipin is a parchi and a sifarshi chief and I won't give much weight to what he is saying.

But if we are involved somehow then it is a good news.
