Lance Naik Hanamanthappa Koppad -- the Army jawan who is battling for
life after he survived being snowed in 30 feet below the surface for
six days in Siachen, remains critical even as his condition is being
monitored continuously.
Koppad is still dependent on a ventilator.
"The medical team treating him at the RR hospital is monitoring his
situation continuously and is treating him with best expertise and
resources available in the world," the statement said.
Earlier

Research and Referral here. Army Chief General Dalbir
