A team of people with disabilities begins journey to the Siachen Glacier.
Where there’s a will there’s a way. A team of people with disabilities on Independence Day embarked upon a journey to trek the Siachen Glacier. They will attempt a world record for the largest group of people with disabilities to scale the highest battlefield in the world. Minister for Social Justice and Empowerment Virendra Kumar flagged off the expedition, which is being executed by ‘Team CLAW’, a group of armed forces veterans working towards empowering people with disabilities. “The team will drive via Manali to Leh and will prepare for the Siachen Glacier world record expedition,” said Major Arun Prakash Ambathy (retd.) of CLAW Global. “It shall subsequently undergo three stages of acclimatisation, training and medical screening before being inducted into the Siachen Base Camp for the final expedition,” he said.
