New Delhi [India], October 23 : Headquarters Chief Engineer (Project) BRAHMANK continues to exemplify professionalism, foresight, and operational dedication in advancing critical infrastructure and connectivity in the North Eastern region.
As part of its ongoing efforts to support national strategic objectives, the project undertook a series of events for Global Campaign #23for23: "23 Minutes for Snow Leopards" to enhance awareness for both the species and fragile ecosystems, as well as to celebrate animal-human coexistence and their habitat protection across all its field units, according to a release from the Defence PRO.
