NO 897040148 CT/GD Desha Singh, was part of the Quick Reaction Team (QRT) deployed for providing security to the Border Roads Organization (BRO) personnel in Afghanistan. On 3rd January ,2008 at 1645 hours, the Quick Reaction Team received information that a bomb kept in a motorcycle has been detonated before the convoy of BRO returning from the Quarry operations in a Taliban infested town. The Quick Reaction Team immediately reached the blast site.
Without wasting time and cordination with QRT commander and after ensuring that the last vehicle of the convoy moved away from blast site safely, he joined his team for returning to Headquarters when a suicide bomber blew up himself close to him.
He sustained severe injuries and later succumbed to his injuries. Thus Shri Desha Singh displayed raw courage, determination and sacrificed his life on the line of duty.
