BRO is Indian Roads organization.

As someone who spent time in Indian borders (Tibet/Nepal) these signs are pretty common.
BBC incorrectly attributed this to "dark sense of humour of Bhutan" but then again when have they been right about India?
- dmix 10y ago> BBC incorrectly attributed this to "dark sense of humour of Bhutan" The headline author did. But the article mentions both the fact BRO is Indian and the fact these signs exist in other Indian border areas. >> Over the years, the Border Roads Organisation has also built and maintained roads in other countries neighbouring India, including Afghanistan, Burma and Sri Lanka. Today, they largely employ local workers, but historically, many Indians took on the difficult and dangerous work. Their ability to have a sense of humour in challenging circumstances is clear both in their brilliant road signs and in their mission.
