New Delhi, Jan 3: Captain Shiva Chauhan became the first female officer to be operationally deployed at Kumar Post on the Siachen Glacier, the site of the highest fight.
“Capt Shiva Chauhan of Fire and Fury Sappers became the first woman officer to be operationally deployed in Kumar Post, at the highest battlefield of the world,” tweeted the official account of Fire and Fury Corps of the Indian Army.
Shiva’s accomplishment is lauded in the Twitter post’s description, which reads, ‘Breaking the Glass Ceiling.’
Before being assigned to the Kumar Post, Shiva had to endure a difficult training period. India and Pakistan have been at war with each other on and off since 1984, with the Siachen Glacier serving as the highest battleground on the planet.
When a group of eight people with special needs reached Kumar Post at 15,632 feet on the Siachen glacier in September 2021, they broke a world record.
