OVERVIEW Welcome to the 2 nd edition of the newsletter of. It gives immense pleasure to inform our esteemed clients that has entered its 200 th year in business in 2010 and is on top gear to surpass all its previous records as the group has faced many challenges in this long duration of 200 years and is always a winner. Scenario has changed in last few months in heavylift industry due to some major road accidents in India and the only way for success is to strictly follow safety norms at every stage. always accord first priority for safety and quality. We have always emphasis on Right Path, Right Planning, Right Procedure, Right Plant & Machinery, Right People, Right Place, Right Price, Right Party and Right Policy while handling the projects but still many do not give importance to quality and safety and just to cut down the transportation cost compromise on safety which results into loss of time, loss of money, delay in commencing the project, loss of equipment and most important is loss of Human Life. There are few major accidents by few operators which made the authorities to enfocre the rules strictly in certain states. Everyone must understand the importance of safe transportation of heavylift which not only helps the project in timely completion but also saves the public propert,y roads and bridges which helps the industry, trade and ultimately the people of the country get the benefits. 2 nd issue of our newsletter gives details of major projects handled by ABC Dubash Group in last 6 months and also new developments within the group. We hope you will find our newsletter interesting. Please feel free to send your comments / suggestion to urmilaprojects@abcdubash.com. H. S. Acharya Chief Executive 2
