Jgn Flour Mills

Jgn Flour Mills is on Sua Road, right near the Kamal Kanda in Giaspura. If you’ve ever been to this part of town, you know it’s always busy with people and vehicles. The mill itself is quite an old building. The moment you step inside, you can feel the fine dust of the flour in the air. It gets on your clothes and in your hair by the end of the shift. The machines are loud and they vibrate the floor, which is something you have to get used to. We spend the day pouring grain into the hoppers and watching the bags fill up. It’s heavy work, and our backs usually ache by the time we head home. We keep the big doors open to let the air circulate, otherwise, it gets too hot with the engines running. Giaspura is a noisy area, so the sound of the mill just blends in with the traffic outside. We have a small bench near the front where we sit and wait for the farmers to bring in their loads. Most of the people who work here have been doing this for a long time. We don't talk much while the machines are on because you can't hear anything anyway. We just use hand signals to get things done. It’s a dirty, loud job, but it’s what we do every day. We just focus on the grain and the bags.
