Bridge the gap and get things done: Stories of CPEC’s Pioneer
As per Liu Chaoqun, Schedule Manager of the company, Warraich once studied at Harbin Engineering University, which is located in Harbin, the Ice City of China. This experience made Warraich know Chinese culture well and helped him take good care of both Pakistani and Chinese employees. “You can always count on Sufyan!” Liu Chaoqun said.
However, the April of Thar Desert is as hot as mid-summer. High temperatures are baking the site. “Scarcely a drop of rain falls here,” Liu Chaoqun told the reporter, adding that it would be torture for fasting people to work as usual in such a scorching heat.
Therefore, Warraich communicated with the management and proposed setting more suitable working hours for Pakistani staff during Ramadan. “My job is to keep every employee working properly in a cozy environment from a to z. I need to keep them focused on their jobs,” Warraich said. The proposal was soon recognized by the company and Pakistani workers felt the company's respect for their religion and culture.
On top of that, Warraich is also a bridge between the company and locals living near the project site.
“Warraich once investigated the living conditions and needs of villagers around the site, and coordinated the company to carry out various CSR donations for them,” recalled Jiang Zedong, Maintenance Manager of Production Preparation Department.
Also, it was found that the nearby villages are qualified to provide drinking water to the site after investigation, and the villagers nearby also proposed to do so. “Through Warraich's communication, he got this done and in this way local villagers got another source of income to support their family,” Jiang Zedong said, adding that Warraich is definitely a great communicator and organizer.
