Shankar Bhandar

You can find Shankar Bhandar right on Putki Main Road. We are quite close to the Masjid Mohalla area here in Kusunda. It’s a typical grocery store that’s been serving the people around Dhanbad for years. We carry all the staple items like grains, oil, soaps, and biscuits. The road outside can get pretty dusty and loud with all the traffic, but inside it’s just the usual shop business. I started this place to give people a reliable spot to get their monthly rations. We don't have any fancy displays or anything like that. The bags of rice and flour are usually stacked up near the entrance because that’s where they fit. It's a family-run kind of thing. My nephew helps me out during the busy hours in the morning. We know the people living nearby, and they know us. Sometimes we sit and chat for a minute while weighing out the dal. It's not just about selling things; it's about being part of the Putki community. We try to keep the shop clean, but with all the foot traffic, it’s a constant job. If the weather is bad, the shop might be a little dark, but we’re usually there. We don't do home delivery or anything high-tech. You just come in, get what you need, and head home. That’s how we’ve always done it. It is just a plain, honest way to earn a living in this part of Dhanbad.
