The name Siachen refers to a land with an abundance of roses.
The  place where temperature is as low as minus 40 degree Celsius and here in this place our soldiers are being posted to save our land and the people .
We should respect them . It is because a soldier awakes somewhere as far as SIACHEN , that we are able to sleep peacefully in our houses . 

Siachen is the the longest glacier in the Karakoram range.' Sia' in the balti language refers to the wild roses found there and 'chun' means anything found in abundance. Siachen forms a part of Leh district  in Ladakh.

 Daily existence is so painful in Sochen that soldiers cannot be sent up again for at least 15 years.
