Ahluwalia Contract India Ltd

Our place is located way out in Vill. Maletha, near the post office in Bughani. Being in Pauri Garhwal means we see a lot of green hills and open sky every morning. It is a quiet area compared to the big cities, but we stay busy with our contract work. Most days involve a lot of checking on materials and talking to the workers who come in from the surrounding villages. The office isn't much to look at, just a practical space where we keep our files and take our tea breaks. It gets cold in the winters here, so we usually have a heater going while we sort out the schedules. We have been part of the landscape here for some time now. People in Uttarakhand know how hard the terrain can be, so we just take things one day at a time. We don't really do much talking about ourselves because the work usually speaks for itself. It is a lot of logistics and making sure the trucks can get through the mountain roads. Sometimes the rain slows everything down, but we just wait it out and start again the next morning. We are just local people trying to get things built. It's a straightforward life here. We stick to our tasks and try to stay out of the way of the tourists. It is hard work but it keeps us going.
