Answer:
Severe the link between ladakh and kashmir
Explanation:
The infiltration was codenamed "Operation Badr"; its aim was to sever the link between Kashmir and Ladakh, and cause Indian forces to withdraw from the Siachen Glacier, thus forcing India to negotiate a settlement of the broader Kashmir dispute.
The Siachen conflict, sometimes referred to as the Siachen War, was a military conflict between India and Pakistan over the disputed Siachen Glacier region in Kashmir. A cease-fire went into effect in 2003.[15] The contended area is nearly 1,000 square miles (2,600 km2) of territory.[16] The conflict started in 1984 after India captured the Siachen Glacier as part of Operation Meghdoot. India took control of the 70-kilometre-long (43 mi) Siachen Glacier and its tributary glaciers, as well as all the main passes and heights of the Saltoro Ridge immediately west of the glacier, including Sia La, Bilafond La, and Gyong La. Pakistan controls the glacial valleys immediately west of the Saltoro Ridge.[17][18] According to TIME magazine, India gained control of more than 2500 km2 of territory because of its military operations in Siachen.[19]
