Ma Kali Engineering Works

Ma Kali Engineering Works is located down in Surki Mill, near the Baltikuri post office in the Dasnagar area. If you know Howrah, you know this is a place where people really know their way around iron and machines. Our workshop is an old-school kind of place, filled with the smell of welding and the sound of metal being cut. We don't use a lot of fancy technology; it is more about the skill of the workers who have been doing this for years. The road outside can get a bit muddy when it rains, and it is always a bit of a struggle to get the bigger trucks in and out of the mill area. We mostly handle heavy metal repairs and making specific parts that people need for their own machines. It’s loud and you often have to shout to be heard over the grinders. The staff are all local guys who grew up around here. We take our breaks together near the front gate and talk about what’s happening in the neighborhood. There isn't any air conditioning, just the breeze if we leave the shutters open. It is a very practical, hands-on way to make a living. The building itself is quite old and looks its age, but the tools inside are well-maintained and do exactly what they are supposed to. We don't do any advertising because most people around here already know who we are.
