Would they at some point give up and leave the rest of the bodies buried in the ice ?

Would it be okay, morally, ethically, religiously and logically ?

Re: Avalanche buries 135 Pak soldiers in Siachin

If I am not wrong, Gen Kiyani had said in May in a news conference that every martyred soldier's body would be recovered. So, I think they'll keep searching the remaining bodies.

Re: Avalanche buries 135 Pak soldiers in Siachin

from what I know, they are not stopping rescue operation anytime soon, atleast not until all the jawans bodies are recovered.

Let the dead remain buried | Blog | DAWN.COM

I agree with the author. The search operation has been on hold during the frigid winter months. 121 out of the 139 soldier’s bodies have been recovered, and the army is gearing to restart the search operation once weather permits.

I do understand that the families of the remaining soldiers would get closure upon receiving their bodies, and considering the fact that their bodies would be intact because of the low temperatures, it might not be a bad idea. But I feel the army wants to continue the recovery process as much for logistical reasons as for recovering the bodies. There must be plenty of ‘important stuff’ buried down there which they may want to retrieve/destroy before finishing recovery.
