Agarwal Iron Steel Store

Our place is on Kunhadi Nanta Road 11, and you can usually hear us from a block away because of the metal clanging. Agarwal Iron Steel Store is mostly just a big yard and a shed full of heavy stock. Dealing with iron and steel is hard on the hands and the back, so we all have plenty of callouses. The inventory is heavy and cold, and moving it around takes a lot of effort every single day. We spend a lot of time loading and unloading trucks that come off the main road. The dust from the road gets everywhere, and the sun hits the metal pretty hard in the afternoons. We have to be careful with the counts because missing even a few bars messes everything up. It’s not a place for fancy talk; we just talk about gauges, lengths, and weights. Sometimes the crane gets stuck or a truck driver gets lost trying to find Number 11, so we have to go out and wave them in. It stays pretty busy from morning until we lock up the gates at night. We’ve got a routine down now, where one person checks the list and the others move the material. It is dirty work, and we go home covered in rust marks and grease, but that’s just how it is when you’re working with steel all day. We just keep the piles organized and the orders moving out to the different sites.
