Hira Steel

You can find Hira Steel over at Plot No 159 in the New Loha Mandi area. Being near Devshri Talkies makes it pretty easy to give directions to people who aren't from around this part of town. The Mandi is a chaotic place, full of big trucks and piles of metal everywhere you look. Our plot has been home to us for some time now. It’s mostly an open space where the steel sits out under the sky. When it starts to rain, we have to move fast to get everything covered up. The sun gets really hot in the middle of the day, so we usually take a short break in the shade then. We’ve got a small office cabin that’s mostly filled with old ledgers and some plastic chairs for visitors to sit on. It’s never very quiet because of all the loading and unloading going on right next door. We know most of the other guys working in the Mandi, and we often share news about what’s happening with the prices. It’s a simple operation really. We buy, we sell, and we try to make sure the weights are as accurate as they can be. Sometimes the electricity goes out for a few hours and we just sit outside and talk until it comes back on. It’s just the way things are. We don’t have a website or any of that stuff, just our physical location where we show up to work.
