"More than 95 per cent of troop casualties in Siachen - thought to be in the hundreds, although the number is classified - are caused by the climate rather than enemy fire, according to the Indian army... The financial cost is prohibitive. India spends an estimated $1m-$2m a day maintaining its presence in Siachen. Pakistan spends a bit less. Since 1984, India has spent an estimated $10bn on its Siachen operations. Its annual budget is almost $100bn."
