India Plans Mission to Recover 'Green Boots' Body from Mount Everest After Identification
After nearly 30 years, DNA testing has confirmed that the body known as 'Green Boots' on Mount Everest's Northeast Ridge belongs to Indo-Tibetan Border Police Lance Naik Dorje Morup, not his teammate Tsewang Paljor as previously believed. Indian authorities have announced a challenging mission to recover Morup's remains from the 'death zone' at about 8,500 meters, aiming to complete the operation by October and provide closure to his family. The recovery will involve experienced high-altitude teams and Sherpas due to the difficult terrain and conditions.
