The Indian Army is adopting eco-friendly windmills and solar energy at Siachen glacier, lying between India-Pakistan and the highest battlefield of the world.
The green energy move is part of their effort to save the glacier from pollution, and to cut down on the cost of the fuel and logistic efforts.
With the installation of eco-friendly windmills and solar panels, the soldiers are no longer dependent on kerosene and diesel for running generators to heat their huts and lights.
The government has sanctioned Rs 3,000 crore to realize the green energy plan. There are also plans for renewable energy at other frontier areas in Ladakh region.
