The troops and civilians were buried under some 25 metres (80 feet) of snow in the Siachen Glacier on the northern tip of Kashmir - a Himalayan region divided between Pakistan and India. Hundreds of Pakistani soldiers, with the help of heavy machinery and foreign experts, dug through mounds of snow and earth and dogs scoured the site. Head of the rescue operation, Brigadier Saqib Malik, said although there were no signs that anyone had survived the disaster, rescue workers were determined to recover the victims. "Yes, the sense of loss is there, because they were colleagues you eat and sleep live with them very minute, so the sense of loss is there, but that has not effected or diminished their moral or will to get them out," he said. Malik added that Pakistani engineers have devised a special approach to recovery efforts. Earlier in the day Pakistan''s powerful army chief, General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani visited the site, and called for the peaceful resolution of the Himalayan glacier dispute with rival nuclear power India. Pakistan say that India began the conflict when its troops occupied the uninhabited Siachen Glacier in 1984. Pakistan sent in troops, and since then both armies have been facing each other on the glacier, which is located north of the disputed territory of Kashmir. Pakistan and India have fought three major wars since they both achieved independence from the British empire in 1947, two of them over Kashmir.
