Devinder Binura

Devinder Binura works here at the Civil Hospital in Phillaur. Phillaur is a specific kind of place, tucked away in the Jalandhar district with the 144410 postal code. Being a Civil Hospital, it’s always got something going on. It’s not like those private clinics where everything is quiet and smells like flowers. It’s a bit rough around the edges sometimes, but it’s real. People from the town and the surrounding villages come here because they need to. The building has some age on it, and you can tell by looking at the walls. We don't mind that much. It’s about the people who come in. I see folks from all walks of life every single day. Some days are longer than others, especially when the weather is bad or there’s a lot of sickness going around the area. We just keep the lights on and stay ready for whoever walks in next. It’s a practical environment. There isn’t any corporate talk here, just the sound of people talking in the corridors and the busy feet of the staff. Phillaur is where we are rooted. It’s a community hospital through and through. We don't try to be anything we aren't. We just show up and do the hours. It’s a tough job but it’s what we do here in Jalandhar.
