Jagdamba Cement Agency

Our place, Jagdamba Cement Agency, is located on Murlipura Road in the Bhojpura Kallan area of Murlipura. Cement is a heavy and messy business, so our clothes usually have a bit of white powder on them by the end of the day. We have a big shed where we keep the bags stacked up high. It’s a simple building, nothing too modern. We spend most of our time coordinating with truck drivers and local contractors. The road outside can get a bit narrow when the big lorries come to unload. We’ve been in this part of Murlipura for quite some time now. People around here know us by name. We don't do much in the way of sales pitches. If someone needs cement for a roof or a wall, they come to us and we tell them what’s available. Sometimes we run out of a specific brand, but we try to keep the stocks moving. It’s hard work, lifting those bags, but it keeps us busy. The office is just a small corner with a desk and a couple of chairs for visitors. We drink a lot of tea to get through the day. There’s no air conditioning, just a ceiling fan that’s seen better days. It’s an honest way to make a living. We just focus on getting the orders delivered to the sites on time. That’s about it for us. We're here every day except Sunday, keeping the stacks organized.
