Colonel Kumar, the man who saved Siachen for India, passes away- The New Indian Express

Express News Service
NEW DELHI: Colonel Narendra Kumar, the man who scaled the Mt Everest for Indian Army, breathed his last in Delhi on Thursday. Kumar was commissioned from Indian Military Academy, Dehradun in the Kumaon Regiment in 1953.
Colonel Aman Anand, Spokesperson, Indian Army said, “He was mountaineer par excellence, he was the first Indian to climb Mt Nanda Devi. He climbed the Mt Everest in 1965, Mt Blanc( highest peak in the Alps)and later Mt Kangchenchanga( from the toughest NE spur). He climbed up all these peaks despite losing four toes due to frostbite in earlier expeditions.”
In 1981 Colonel Kumar played a stellar role as a member of the Antarctica Task Force. If it was not for his expeditions to Siachen Glacier and Saltoro Range as Commandant of the 'High Altitude Warfare School', Pakistan would have annexed Siachen Glacier.
