GUWAHATI, Sept 11: Star Cement Limited, the pioneer cement brand of East India and winner of several Industry awards, celebrated a transporter meet on last Saturday to felicitate transporters for their dedicated support, engagement and hard work.
The Star Cement Transporter Meet 2023 presented a wonderful platform to applaud these unsung heroes and which saw a ready and enthusiastic turnout and participation from the transporters fraternity. The company awarded as many as 13 transporters with the prestigious Star Samrat, Star Ratna and Star Shree Awards, for their exceptional performance and merit.
Appreciating the transporters for their continuous collaboration and ensuring highest level of service efficiency, Pradeep Purohit, COO, Star Cement stated “Transportation facilitates the development of industries and markets and helps in expansion. Without transportation, globalization would be almost impossible as imports and exports will take longer times. Hence, it becomes our moral responsibility to honour and felicitate these unsung heroes.”
“If industry be the backbone of the country logistics, then the transporters are our brain and vein”, Purohit added.
The prime objective of this event was to uphold the immensely crucial role that these transporters have been playing in our lives for years, in not just keeping the industry wheels moving, but also contributing to the growth of the nation as a whole.
In fact, when viewed against the backdrop of the truly challenging terrain of Northeastern India, the role of these transporters becomes even more praiseworthy. These real life heroes continue to reach products and people to the their pre-set destinations, defying time of day or weather, defying rain, storm, snow, floods – venturing through every risk to keep their commitment.
The event certainly upheld the humane values of Star Cement Limited, which is essential to a company’s ethos and growth a PR stated.
