In a challenging recovery operation, the bodies of three soldiers , who perished in an avalanche during a mountaineering expedition last October, have been retrieved after being buried under snow for nearly nine months. Havildar Rohit Kumar, Havildar Thakur Bahadur Ale, and Naik Gautam Rajbanshi were found deep within a crevasse, entombed under thick ice and snow. Their bodies were recovered over the past week, while the body of Lance Naik Stanzin Targais was found shortly after the incident.
