True. Siachen is of Significant Importance because of it's strategic Location- if demilitarized, who knows another "Kargil" like Incursion may happen.
Could you please elaborate further, your forces occupied Siachen Glacier in 1984, Kargil incident happened in 1999, so occuyping Siachen wont prevent another Kargil type incident, The whole aim to occupy Siachen glacier was to sneak into Gilgit and Baltistan occupy as much territory as possible and keep a close eye on KKH, which has not happened and hence your forces could not go any further and are locked in frozen heights. Bottom line is the occupation of Siachen glacier is very little strategic value.
