Siachen Conflict

The Siachen Conflict refers to the territorial dispute between India and Pakistan over the Siachen Glacier, located in the eastern Karakoram range of the Himalayas. Since 1984, both countries have maintained military presence in this remote area, leading to harsh conditions and conflicts. The glacier is strategically important and rich in water resources, which adds to its significance. The conflict has resulted in numerous military engagements and significant casualties, despite the region being largely uninhabited. Efforts to negotiate peace over this area remain complicated, reflecting broader tensions between the two nations.
