The search and rescue operation for over a 100 soldiers buried at Gayari continued for the 21st day on Thursday, reported Inter-Service Public Relation (ISPR).
ISPR reported that the Ground Penetrating Rader (GPR) teams took readings at 26 different points and identified eight sites for further search.
“A 300-feet long course has been hauled over the avalanche for restoration of the channel by employing dozers.”
At least 138 people were buried under a huge avalanche at an army camp at Siachen glacier.
More than 450 rescuers, including foreign teams, have been working in sub-zero temperatures at the site since the incident, though experts have said there is little chance of finding any survivors.

It's a RECOVERY operation for heaven's sake not a 'rescue' operation anymore!
So how much have they dug -- how much further do they expect to dig - have they recovered any bodies - what did the ground penetrating radar reveal? Are any Pakistani news media on site - if not - why. Do the Pakistan news media ask any questions of the ISPR?
Great job...They should keep up their rescue efforts with highest morales, how long it may take them to this work.
