As per reports, at that point, there were a lot of conflicts involving military force and Pakistan was also trying to gain control over Siachen Glacier by establishing military outposts in the neighbouring mountains in the 1980s. During the 1990s, the conflicts in Kashmir started increasing to a great extent, according to reports. Around the same time, both India and Pakistan started testing their nuclear weapons as well. In order to bring peace over this situation both the countries signed the Lahore Declaration in February 1999 which was supposed to provide peaceful solutions to the Kashmir conflict.

The project was named "Operation Badr". Pakistan wanted to cut the link between Kashmir and Ladakh. Their strategy was that if the link was cut, Indian forces would have to withdraw from Siachen Glacier which in turn would also force India to negotiate a deal on the Kashmir dispute.
