(Lt. Col Ghulam Mustafa Khan, Malir Cantt Karachi)

In 1984 when our enemy country India started moving towards Siachen, Pak Army surrounded Siachen Glacier and for the sovereignty of Country, left their warm beds and gave preference to sleeping on snow and similarly told India that Pakistan Army is in front of you so look and think before proceeding, if you look towards Pakistan with an evil sight we shall pop out your eyes, thanks to ALLAH Pak Army answered enemy bravely and till now enemy did not have courage of moving forward. On 17th April 2012 6 NLI battalion was performing its duties, at night around 2:00AM suddenly glacier moved forward with the speed of 350 KM per second and made 6 NLI its target which was spread in the area of around 1 Kilometer. At that time most of them were sleeping and only few were performing their duties. Suddenly they all of them were buried under snow. This journey of Martyrdom started from stony plains of Badar and passed through thirty land of Karbala and didn’t end at 13 thousand feet height of Giyari Sector. At that time number of unit members was 140 among which 11 were civilians and all of them came under glacier of snow. No one would have thought that bodies of these martyrs will ever be searched. Glacier was one mile wide and hundreds of feet deep and icy cold wind made impossible to place even a step. All departments of Pak Army and foreign experts were invited there so that people under the glacier could be extracted alive with the help of their expert opinions and latest equipment, experts lose their hope refused to take part and said it is impossible to extract someone alive from there. But thanks to ALLAH! Pakistan Army didn’t give up and started the operation. When first bulldozer reached there it was like small match box in front of glacier, experts from all over the world lose their hope but how can a father take rest whose children are under thousands of tons of snow. That sorrowful man was chief of Army Staff, whose face seems to be expression less and whose voice is like a robot voice instead of voice coming from human throat but he was broken from inside, scattered, he was face most difficult challenge of his Army career, during war many embrace martyrdom to bring back body of martyr, General sb expressed an impossible decision of finding body of every martyr, we will bury him with all respect in front of his relatives, it will take time but we will finish it. There was mountain of snow on bodies so Pak Army dig a path under the mountain in hope that water will melt underneath and will flow down into river, but in morning they saw that water was moving upwards towards bodies instead of going downwards. Pak Army thought now it is impossible because now water will take all bodies with it into the river so everyone lose their hope, left the operation and starting praying from ALLAH that now only you are our hope, in morning they saw that now water was going downwards towards river instead of going toward bodies. Pak army restarted their operations. Such a difficult hardships faced further but Allah جل جلالہ helped the Pak army and finally after forty days later first dead body was got recovered and there were no any sore mark over it at all, and were seems as if he has died just today and his dead body was handed over to his survivors. This operation kept continued for consecutive two years and 133 martyred bodies were got recovered out of 140 and handed over to their survivors. But 7 soldiers bodies could not be located, because snow falling season has started and dead bodies were arrange to bury and in their honour a small graveyard was also formed and beside it a monument was also marked as remembrance of the martyrs. Surprisingly all bodies of martyrs were in their real condition except few and they were exact there as they were before. When dead bodies of the martyrs where being recovered they were in the position at the time of occurrence of the incident and they slam in to lay condition by itself and by the grace of Allah جل جلالہ they were buried to their hometown. Allah جل جلالہ has associated his help with this country, that’s why in such huge glaciers Allah جل جلالہ made impossible to possible and whole world got surprised.
