DRDO's 'Bukhari' heater to help Indian Army battle extreme cold

Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has developed multiple products such as 'Him Taapak' heating device and snow melters to help the Indian soldiers continue to safeguard the borders in extreme weather conditions.

More than 50,000 soldiers are stationed in Eastern Ladakh amid continued border tensions with China.

The jawans brave harsh climatic conditions to ensure no transgression from the other side.

With this in mind, Indian Army has placed orders worth more than Rs 420 crore of these appliances.

Dr Rajeev Varshney, Director of DRDO's Defence Institute of Physiology and Allied Sciences (DIPAS) told ANI that the 'Him Taapak' device will ensure that there are no deaths of jawans due to backblast and carbon monoxide poisoning.

An ergonomically-designed backpack is also one of the products to ease the burden of the soldiers.

COUNTERSTRIKE! India Responds To China's Arunachal move, To Rename 30 Places in Tibet [Video]

COUNTERSTRIKE! India Responds To China's Arunachal move, To Rename 30 Places in Tibet

India has taken a tit-for-tat step in response to China by approving the renaming of 30 places in Tibet. This move is seen as a strong rebuttal to China's decision to rename places in Arunachal Pradesh. The renaming initiative by the Indian government comes in the wake of heightened tensions between India and China, particularly following the violent clash in the Pangong Tso area in eastern Ladakh on May 5, 2020. Since then, the two nations have engaged in 21 rounds of military talks to address the standoff but are yet to reach a comprehensive resolution. #IndiaChinaTensions #ArunachalPradesh #TibetRenaming #Geopolitics #IndiaStrikesBack #BorderDispute #SinoIndianRelations #Tibet #DiplomaticMove #NamingRights #StrategicResponse #IndiaChinaConflict #RegionalPolitics #TerritorialDispute #IndiaChinaFaceOff ~HT.97~PR.152~ED.155~
