Himank
Himank is a project of the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) in the Ladakh region of northernmost India that started in August 1985.〔(BRO site )〕 Himank is responsible for the construction and maintenance of roads and related infrastructure including the world's highest motorable roads across the Khardung La, Tanglang La and Chang La passes. Himank's work ensures access to sensitive military areas including the world's highest battle-ground at the Siachen Glacier and Pangong Tso Lake (at 14500 ft) whose waters span the de facto India-China border. Nicknamed “The Mountain Tamers”, Himank's personnel battling tough terrain and extreme climatic conditions and are constrained in most areas to work within a short working season of four months as roads get blocked by heavy snow and extreme cold temperatures. Between 1987 and 2002 at least 124 Himank personnel were killed while on duty in Ladakh including five officers.〔(2002 The Tribune article )〕 Most of the manual labourers are from Bihar not from Ladakh. They are nicknamed Dumkas after a village where many of the original Himank workers were recruited.〔(Tribune article 2002 )〕
