Jammu, July 21
With an aim to document a pictorial account of the trials and tribulations of the Corps of Engineers, two Coffee Table Books namely ‘Sappers’ contribution in Nation Building’ and ‘Sappers in Disaster Mitigation’ have been compiled under the patronage of the Engineers in Chief and Senior Colonel Commandant Corps of Engineers, Lt Gen BS Dhaliwal. These compilations were formally released at New Delhi today by the senior most sapper officer, erstwhile Engineer in Chief, Lt Gen KN Dubey and junior most sapper officer, Lt Prabha Shankar Ojha. The function was attended by a large number of Engineer officers both retired and serving.
The Corps of Engineers of the Indian Army is the key player in all rescue and relief activities having set a benchmark for service to the Nation. The sands of time bear testimony to the innumerable and vast array of indomitable tasks undertaken by the Sappers ranging from construction of dams, roads, jettys, infrastructure to helping in healing the scars of death and destruction in disasters such as the Orissa cyclone of 1999, Bhuj earthquake of 2001, Tsunami in 2003 and J&K earthquake of 2005. The Corps of Engineers have been omnipresent in the Nation’s time of need true to their motto of ‘SARVATRA’.
The compilations commemorate the hallowed memory of ‘The Brave Sapper’ who laid down his life while bringing comfort and solace to our countrymen affected by calamities in addition to rendering dedicated and selfless service in Nation building.
