On Thursday, body of another soldier had been recovered, days after the two had gone missing during an operation in the high-altitude Gadool area, promoting authorities to launch a massive search operation.

A senior official told The Tribune that the second body has also been found from the same area. He said the deaths are weather-related. Indian Army is yet to issue a statement.

Army’s Srinagar-based Chinar Corps said on X late on Wednesday night that on the intervening night of October 6 and 7, an “operational team in the Kishtwar range encountered a severe snowstorm and whiteout conditions in the mountains of south Kashmir.”

“Since then, two soldiers have lost communication. Intense search and rescue operations have been launched, but progress has been hampered by prevailing adverse weather conditions,” the Army had said.
