During his interaction with the troops, Lt Gen Singh lauded them for remaining alert and vigilant. The officer complimented them for foiling enemy’s misadventures like ceasefire violation and infiltration while tackling tough natural challenges like difficult terrain, snow and avalanches.

"You will face avalanche. Enemy will do CFVs & attempt infiltration. Be alert & vigilant. Every step you must take carefully. I wish you all the best," said Lt General Singh in his address to troops.

Lt General Singh also complimented all ranks for their commitment and selfless dedication towards motherland. He exhorted the troops to maintain high order of vigil and give a befitting response to any misadventure by enemy.

The Army team was on a patrol when the avalanche hit them at an altitude of 19,000 feet around 3:30 pm. However, four soldiers and two civilian porters died after being trapped in the avalanche.
