Kargil: Subhan Ali was a young officer working with the Border Road Organisation (BRO) when he met with a fateful accident in Drass sub-division of Kargil, near Batra Camp, on June 22, 2020. Ali was on duty and travelling by car when he fell into the rapidly flowing Drass river on the Zojia-Kargil-Leh highway.
The body of the driver he was with was found a few weeks later, but Subhanâs body has not yet been found. There have been repeated attempts to recover the body by the district administration of Kargil and local social and religious organisations.
The search for Subhan Ali, a 27-year-old Border Roads Organisation officer posted in Kargil, just got longer. The Indian Engineering Services (IES) officer is believed to have fallen into the Dras river in June last year, a month before he was going to get married. While his driver’s body was found, his never was. Now, a fortnight after defence minister Rajnath Singh said the DNA tests to confirm his identity are “in queue,” his family says they are caught in a limbo they have been “informally” told that the DNA samples have not matched but to get a death certificate, they’d have to wait over six years. And his salary dues remain stuck.

New Delhi: The grief-stricken family of Border Road Organisation (BRO) officer Subhan Ali has been waiting for closure for eight months since the car he was traveling in met with an accident and fell into the fast-flowing Drass river on the Zojila-Kargil-Leh road on 22 June last year.
While the body of his driver, Palwinder Singh, was found two weeks later, 25 km from the accident site, and within the Indian territory, Ali remained missing.
Days later, the Pakistani officials informed their Indian counterpart that Pakistan recovered an unidentified body from Shingo river close to the LoC on 27 June 2020.
