Militry Engineering Services(M.E.S).

This is the MES office located up in Chail, right near Kandaghat. Abhishek Tiwari is the one in charge of the inspection bungalow here. It’s a very quiet part of Himachal Pradesh, mostly surrounded by tall trees and mountain air. We handle the engineering and maintenance work for the military facilities in this district. There is always a list of things that need fixing, like water pipes or building repairs. The winters in Solan can get quite cold, which makes working outside a bit of a challenge for the crew. We don't have a massive team, just a few reliable people who know how to keep the infrastructure going. It is a lot of checking on different sites and filling out the necessary paperwork at the desk. Some people might find it boring, but we take pride in just getting the job done. We’ve been at this VPO-Chail location for quite some time now. Our office is small and doesn't stand out much from the other local buildings. We just focus on the tasks the department gives us and try to make sure everything stays in good shape for the folks in service. It’s a steady kind of life out here in the hills. We don't need any fancy equipment to do what we do, just some practical skills and a bit of patience with the weather.
