500Rs Chapathi?

Terrific article on the siachen stand-off between India and Pakistan by Col Athale. The highlight of the article is the following:

Strategically, tactically, it is a useless piece of real estate.

The cost is horrendous, a chapatti delivered to a soldier there cost
Rs 500. Even the excreta of soldiers manning these posts has to be
lifted by helicopters and brought to base for disposal!

We a nation who cannot afford to feed more than half of our population with a day's chapatti, deliver the same to our soldiers at an horrendous cost. No piece of real estate, however priceless it may be, should be ever be so high-maintenace.
