The Indian army said on Tuesday it has prepared a roadmap for the withdrawal of troops from the Siachen glacier. "We have given our viewpoint to the government on converting the Saltoro ridge and the glacier into a demilitarised zone," army chief general J.J. Singh said, declining to give further details.
The Saltoro ridge, wedged between Azad Kashmir and China's militarised Aksai Chin, has been a bone of contention between India and Pakistan since 1984 when Indian troops occupied its punishing heights.
