🇮🇳 Tragedy in Ladakh: Boulder Crushes Army Convoy, Kills Two Bravehearts, Injures Three

NEW DELHI, July 30, 2025 — In a heartbreaking incident that shook the nation, Lieutenant Colonel Bhanu Pratap Singh Mankotia and Lance Dafadar Daljeet Singh of the Indian Army lost their lives when a massive boulder fell on a military convoy vehicle in the eastern Ladakh region on Wednesday morning.

The tragic accident occurred during a routine movement of forces in the Galwan sector, exposing the harsh and unpredictable terrain hazards soldiers face even during peacetime operations.


Timeline of the Incident

At approximately 11:30 AM, a convoy was en route from Durbuk to Chongtash, near Charbagh, when a rock dislodged from a cliff and smashed into one of the vehicles. The impact was so severe that it instantly killed two personnel and critically injured three others.

Location: Galwan Sector, Eastern Ladakh
Time: Around 11:30 AM
Route: Durbuk to Chongtash
Cause: Boulder fall from a high cliff


The Brave Souls We Lost

🪖 Lieutenant Colonel Bhanu Pratap Singh Mankotia

Unit: 14 Sindh Horse Regiment
A decorated officer remembered for his discipline and leadership, Lt Col Singh was leading the mission when tragedy struck.

🪖 Lance Dafadar Daljeet Singh

Unit: 14 Sindh Horse Regiment
Known for his commitment and courage, Daljeet Singh stood firm with his unit until the very end.

The Fire and Fury Corps paid tribute on X (formerly Twitter):

“GOC, Fire and Fury Corps and all ranks salute Lt Col Bhanu Pratap Singh and Lance Dafadar Daljeet Singh, who made the supreme sacrifice in Ladakh.”


Injured Officers in Critical Condition

Three other officers sustained injuries and were immediately airlifted to the Army hospital in Leh:

  • Major Mayank Shubham – 14 Sindh Horse

  • Major Amit Dixit – 14 Sindh Horse

  • Captain Gaurav – 60 Armoured Regiment

🏥 Status: Stable but critical
📍 Hospital: Army Base Hospital, Leh


Why This Incident Matters: Terrain Hazards in Ladakh

Ladakh is among the most difficult terrains for military operations, often exposed to:

  • Rockfalls

  • Landslides

  • Snow drifts

  • Harsh weather shifts

Operating at altitudes above 14,000 ft, troops not only face adversaries but also geological threats, especially along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) with China.

Army Response and Recovery Operations

Following the incident, units from the Fire and Fury Corps carried out emergency recovery operations:

  • Secured the accident site

  • Cleared terrain for ongoing convoy movement

  • Coordinated air evacuation for the injured

  • Launched an internal inquiry to assess the exact cause

🔎 Current Status: Investigation and terrain risk analysis underway


Non-Combat Hazards: A Silent Threat

While the media often highlights combat casualties, non-combat-related military deaths—due to environmental conditions, accidents, or terrain—are a growing concern.

This tragic event underlines the need for advanced safeguards like:

  • Geological hazard mapping

  • Protective vehicle design

  • Drone surveillance of vulnerable routes

  • Dynamic risk monitoring systems


🇮🇳 Nation Pays Tribute: Service Before Self

Across social media and public forums, condolences poured in for the fallen heroes. Senior officials and citizens united in grief, expressing solidarity with the families.

The Indian Army reaffirmed its commitment to the safety and dignity of every soldier, ensuring that the families of the deceased receive:

  • Financial support

  • Martyr honors

  • Psychological and emotional aid


What’s Next: Army to Review Terrain Safety Protocols

In the wake of this incident, the Army is expected to:

✅ Reassess convoy movement routes
✅ Implement terrain-specific safety audits
✅ Introduce new tech-enabled risk monitoring
✅ Conduct mandatory landslide & rockfall drills

These steps aim to ensure that no more lives are lost to nature’s unpredictable threats.


Conclusion: A Wake-Up Call from the Mountains

The loss of Lt Col Bhanu Pratap Singh Mankotia and Lance Dafadar Daljeet Singh is not just a military loss—it is a national tragedy. Their sacrifice outside of combat symbolizes the ongoing challenges India’s soldiers face every day to protect our borders.

As we honor their memory, this incident must serve as a trigger for policy change, infrastructure upgrades, and strategic innovation to safeguard the lives of those who serve selflessly.
