In a solemn tribute, the Director General Border Roads (DGBR) and all ranks of the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) mourn the loss of Spr Mahesh N Wali, of 13 BRTF (7 Engineer Regiment), who made the supreme sacrifice on 14 December 2024 while performing his duty in Ladakh.
Spr Mahesh Wali was operating a 20-ton rock breaker on the Nimmu-Padum-Darcha Road, a vital and strategic third axis to Leh. Despite the extreme challenges posed by treacherous terrain and bone-chilling temperatures of -20°C, he exhibited unparalleled courage, dedication, and devotion to duty. His efforts were a testament to the indomitable spirit of the BRO, which continues to build and maintain critical infrastructure in some of the harshest environments in the world.
The Nimmu-Padum-Darcha Road, crucial for connecting remote areas in Ladakh, is a strategic lifeline, and Spr Wali’s contribution to this mission reflects the BRO’s commitment to the nation. His bravery and selflessness will forever remain an inspiration for future generations.
In this hour of grief, the BRO family extends its deepest condolences to the bereaved family of Spr Mahesh Wali. His sacrifice will be remembered as a shining example of unwavering service to the nation.
