Srinagar, 13 April 2021. On 13 April 2021, Siachen Warriors celebrated the 37 th
Siachen Day with tremendous zeal and enthusiasm. Brigadier Gurpal Singh, SM laid
a wreath on behalf of GOC, Fire & Fury Corps and paid homage to the martyrs at the
Siachen War Memorial, Base Camp to commemorate their courage and fortitude in
securing the highest and coldest battlefield of the World.
On this day in 1984, Indian troops first unfurled the tri colour at Bilafond La
launching Operation Meghdoot. Since then, it has been a saga of valour and
audacity not only in the face of enemy but also in the face of icy peaks with extreme
weather.
To this day, the Siachen Soldier continues to guard the Frozen Frontier with
determination and resolve against all odds. The Siachen Day honours all the
Siachen Warriors who served their motherland while successfully thwarting enemy
designs over the years.
