Racing against time, Pakistani troops, aided by sniffer dogs and mechanical equipment, today frantically searched for 135 people, mostly soldiers, buried under dozens of feet of snow after a massive avalanche slammed into a key army camp in the Siachen sector near Indian border.
Rescuers resumed the desperate search after suspending the operation late last night because of darkness and poor weather, though there were no signs of survivors a day after the avalanche hit the camp.
