Pabla Ice Factories

We are set up on Court Road in the Ropar district. Being on this road means we see a lot of people heading toward the government buildings and the courts throughout the day. It’s a steady kind of place. We mostly deal with the bulk ice trade. The factory itself is a bit worn down but the machines are solid and they keep running. We have been here for years, and the routine hasn't changed much. Every day we check the water levels and the salt in the tanks. It’s a cold job, even in the summer, because you are always around the storage units. We don’t really bother with advertising or anything because word of mouth in Ropar is enough for us. People know that if they need ice for a wedding or a big gathering, they can just come down to Court Road and find us. The trucks pull up right to the front and we load them up using the metal slides. It’s noisy and there’s usually some water running across the pavement. We don't have a fancy office or a secretary. Usually, one of us is just sitting near the entrance with a ledger to keep track of who took what. It’s an honest way to make a living and we stay busy enough throughout the year. We just keep our heads down and do the work that needs doing.
