Siachen conflict and environment


I got chance to read a very informative story "Siachen conflict and South Asia's ecological doom" by Mr. Ekram Kabir.

I must congratulate the writer for starting a technical debate. I immediately shared this story with my colleagues here in London. We believe Bangladesh and the Maldives should claim compensation from Pakistan and India for the damage caused by floods or cyclones. Particularly, the track record of Pakistan is very poor either in politics or environmental protection.

I also believe that there should be a technical committee to evaluate the losses we have incurred due to this conflict.
