Soldiers manning the Siachen glacier battle extreme cold weather. Temperatures there plummet to minus 60 degrees Celsius.
The soldiers aren’t able to take a bath for almost 90 days when they are guarding the north-eastern border with China due to nail biting cold weather. Since they are posted at heights of up to 21,700 feet, water remains a luxury for them.

In such cases, indigenously developed waterless bodyhygiene products will be shipped to the soldiers, Hindustan Times reported. Close to 3,000 soldiers which are posted at the glacier at any given time have found the waterless cleansing products very useful, informed the publication.
