An old video showing Indian Army soldiers rescuing a Himalayan brown bear in Siachen has resurfaced on social media, drawing mixed reactions. The clip, shared by IFS officer Parveen Kaswan on X, shows soldiers freeing the bear whose head was trapped in a tin canister. Praising the Army, Kaswan called it a “beautiful video,” saluting the soldiers’ compassion amid extreme conditions. Many users lauded the Army’s courage and humanity, highlighting their dedication even in sub-zero temperatures. However, others, including retired IFS officer Susanta Nanda, criticised the presence of garbage in the eco-sensitive Siachen region, calling it “definitely not beautiful.” Some users questioned how the canister—possibly part of the Army’s supplies—ended up there, urging better waste management to prevent harm to wildlife. The video has reignited debate over environmental responsibility in sensitive military zones. #IndianArmy scrolling #himalayanbrownbear #siachen
