On the world's highest battlefield
BBC Urdu scale Siachen Glacier, frozen site of an India-Pakistan stalemate
The Siachen Glacier is the world's highest battlefield, straddling the disputed border between India and Pakistan in northern Kashmir. Thousands of soldiers have died there - mostly, since the 2003 ceasefire, from the harsh conditions. BBC Urdu's Abid Hussain paid a rare visit.
