The Siachen Glacier has been the ultimate operational frontier for the Corps since 1984. Routinely operating at 20,000 feet and above in extremely challenging conditions, the highly skilled and motivated pilots of the Corps have been supporting ‘Operation Meghdoot’ with skill and dedication.

The President congratulated Lieutenant General Kanwal Kumar, Director General and Colonel Commandant of Army Aviation and all ranks (both serving and retired) for their devotion to duty and professional conduct.

The ceremony was witnessed by Bhagat Singh Koshyari, Governor of Maharashtra, Devendra Fadnavis, Chief Minister of Maharashtra and various civil and military dignitaries.
