Army chief tours Siachen forward post in first visit after Op Sindoor

In his first visit to Siachen following Operation Sindoor, Chief of Army Staff General Upendra Dwivedi visited a forward post in the world’s highest battlefield and interacted with the jawans and officers of the 18 Jammu and Kashmir Rifles.

The visit was an emotional one for General Dwivedi, as it brought him back to the very battalion into which he was once commissioned and later commanded.

During the visit, the Army Chief reunited with seven Junior Commissioned Officers (JCOs) who had served under his leadership in the battalion during their early years as soldiers.

“In a truly touching moment filled with nostalgia, the #COAS reunited with seven Junior Commissioned Officers (JCOs) who had served under his leadership in the battalion as young soldiers,” the Indian Army posted on its official X handle.

General Dwivedi relived cherished memories and shared heartfelt moments with his former comrades during the reunion.

“Amidst the icy heights of Siachen, the #COAS relived cherished memories, shared heartfelt moments and celebrated the unbreakable bond of camaraderie and timeless brotherhood with the soldiers,” the Indian Army further tweeted.
