Bhavanapadu, Nov 2013:
This part of Andhra Pradesh witnessed a series of cyclones accompanied by high winds and torrential rains during the last couple of months. First it was Phailin, on 12th Oct. 2013 followed by Helen on 22nd Nov. 2013.
This caused extensive collateral damage in the area. It did affect the progress at the site. But the enthusiasm, spirit, coordinated team work, dedication, focus and committed efforts of Abirites was again at fore and works recommenced quickly.
Tala, Bhutan, Sep 2013:
The senior officials of Druk Green (owners of the project) were so impressed with the ropeway system put by Abir for carrying equipment and construction materials from the right bank of the river Wangchhu to the weir site on the left bank, that they requested for retaining the system after completion of the job – to ferry tourists!!
We had to gently state that the standards for passenger and construction ropeway system are totally different and hence it cannot be used for passengers.
But we are sure that the Bhutan Govt. comes with one!!
The senior officials of Druk Green appreciated Abir’s good performance and in achieving tunnel break through.
