Army jawans putting snow chains around the wheels of a truck to tackle the slippery roads
"It was exciting being part of the huge convoy snaking up the mountain roads. We made good progress and i was enjoying the ride.But soon we came across the snow and the whole convoy slowed down to a crawl. The temperature got colder and the convoy was getting slower by the minute. After a while the entire convoy stopped to put snow chains around the wheels of the trucks."From Story :Â Rescued again... How the Indian army helped me cross a snowed out Chang La pass for the 2nd time.

Army convoy waiting at a TCP checkpost for paperwork to clear.
"Traveling in an army convoy is a slow business. Every 15 to 20 km the convoy would stop at a check point (TCP) and wait 30 minutes or more to get all their paper work started again. Then its off to the next check point, another long wait and so on. It seemed like the famed Indian bureaucracy did not spare its army either."From Story : Rescued again...
