The conflict of siachen can trace back to 1984 when India took the control of whole glacier including three main passes sia la, bilafond la, gyong la by pushing back the Pakistan troops to the ridges of it. This area was controlled by neither of them prior to 1984 but pak initiated to occupy it tactfully but failed with indian military operation known as megdhoot and settled down at saltoro ridge(other side of siachen) while most of the area was being under India.This is the highest battle ground of world and soldiers are getting died in nature fury of frostbite and snow avalanches instead of war, recentlyt on 7th of this month pakisani army outpost was buried under snow avalanche by taking away around 120 lives. On the other side thousands of crore has been spending for maintenance by either sides which is highly unproductive expenditure. Both countries are still fighting with poverty and developmental issues, instead of wasting huge amts of money that to at the cost of human lives both countries should try to resolve the issue diplomatically.
