Harsukh Rice Mill

Our place, Harsukh Rice Mill, is situated right on G.T. Road, next to the cold store in Tarkhan Majra. Being on the main road means there is always traffic and noise, but it makes it easy for the trailers to get in and out. We share the space near the cold storage, so it’s a busy little pocket of activity. The mill stays dusty, and the floors are always covered in a thin layer of grain dust, no matter how much we sweep. It’s a tough environment, but we’re used to it. We start early, often before the sun is fully up, to get the machines warmed up and checked over. There is a lot of maintenance involved in keeping a rice mill going day after day. One day it’s a bearing, the next it’s something else. We just deal with it as it comes. The G.T. Road brings a lot of people past our gates, but most of our work is with the local growers around Tarkhan Majra. We don’t have a website or a sales team. We just have the mill and a few rooms for storage. It’s honest work that leaves you tired at the end of the shift. The cold store next door is a good landmark for people trying to find us. We just focus on the grain in front of us and getting it bagged up properly for the trucks waiting outside. It is a long day every day.
