Siachen soldiers can't bathe for 90 days, may get waterless gel
Soldiers deployed on the Siachen glacier may soon be supplied with waterless bath gels made by IIT Delhi alumni for their three-month stay. India deploys 3,000 soldiers at posts reaching altitudes of up to 21,700 feet. Melting ice into the water requires a lot of fuel on the glacier where temperatures can drop to -60ÂºC and is not feasible.
