| A soldier who was found alive after a deadly avalanche last week at the world's highest battlefield Siachen, is in coma and has been placed on ventilator support at a hospital in Delhi.
For six days, Lance Naik Hanamanthappa Koppad was buried under 25 feet of ice in temperatures close to minus 40 degrees.
Late last night, a rescue team found him in an "arctic tent" or a fibre-reinforced hut that was buried deep in ice. He was unconscious with a weak pulse. He was put on a rescue chopper that took off from the highest helipad on earth on the Saltoro ridge of Siachen.
