Dear Denis – It’s Alistair here from the BBC. Abhra kindly gave me your number.

I wanted to send you a personal thank you note for all your help in assisting the film crew as they recorded our story about the living bridges. Abhra told me how important your personal word was in gaining the proper permission to access Meghalaya in these uncertain times… I can’t thank you enough for your support.

I am very sad I wasn’t able to return to the Holiday Resort and stay with you for the filming, but it gave me a lot of reassurance to know the team were staying somewhere safe and with such fantastic hospitality.
