Srinagar: Rescuers on Saturday extricate the bodies of two more civilians, who along with seven others were swept by an avalanche at Khardungla Top in Ladakh’s Leh district on Friday.
Bodies of five among the missing were recovered on the first day and so far a total of seven bodies have been recovered.
“The khardungla rescue operations re-commenced at first light today to search for the missing five civilians who were buried under an avalanche on Friday near Khardungla Top,” a deence ministry spokesman said.
“Rescue teams from the Fire & Fury Corps, mustered from the Base Camp and from Shyok Axis of the Siachen Brigade consisting of Avalanche Panther Teams alongwith avalanche rescue dogs and deep search radars were employed for the search,” the spokesman said.
Inspite of the inclement weather conditions and snowfall in the area, he said, troops of the Fire and Fury Corps have braved the extreme harsh terrain and severe subzero temperatures and have been carrying out the “daunting task tirelessly with unflinching dedication and devotion.”
“ A command and control center established at Khardungla Top under the aegis of the Fire & Fury Corps has been continuously coordinating the rescue operations round the clock,” he said, adding, “GOC Fire and Fury Corps alongwith Commander Siachen Brigade carried out an aerial assessment of the incident site and issued further necessary directions for the smooth conduct of the rescue operations.”
