Madhav Marbles And Granites Ltd.

Down here at the Thoppur Check Post, things are always moving. Madhav Marbles And Granites Ltd. is based right at Unit I, and being near the check post means we see a lot of trucks passing through day and night. The air is often thick with the smell of diesel and the sound of gears shifting. We have a huge space for all the granite and marble slabs. Because we’re in Thoppur, we have room to keep some of the larger inventory that you wouldn't find in a city shop. Most of our day is spent managing the yard and keeping track of what’s going out. The workers here are used to the wind that blows through the valley. It can get quite dusty when the wind picks up, so we spend a lot of time washing down the slabs so the patterns are clear. We don't have a lot of decorations around the place. It's a functional site meant for moving stone. We wear heavy boots because there’s always a risk of something heavy shifting. It’s a bit out of the way for some, but for the people who need big quantities of stone, they know the way to the check post. We keep the gates open early and stay until the last load is secured. It's hard work, but there's a rhythm to it that we've all grown to appreciate.
