Jalaram Cement Bricks Works

Jalaram Cement Bricks Works is located on Hyderabad Road, but you have to look for us behind the Share Punjab Dhaba. We are right near the Dashmesh Saw Mill at Chandasing Corner, so if you hear the saws buzzing or smell the cooking from the dhaba, you are in the right neighborhood. Our yard is filled with long rows of cement bricks that we make right here. We use a couple of old mixing machines that make a lot of noise, but they still work perfectly fine. The ground is grey from all the cement dust, and we have to wash down the equipment every single evening so it doesn't seize up. It’s a very manual process. We fill the molds, let them set, and then move the bricks to the drying area. Our office is just a small corner with an old desk and a calendar on the wall. We don’t have a big sign out on the main road, so we rely on people seeing the stacks of bricks or hearing about us from the saw mill guys. The sun can be pretty brutal in the afternoon, so we try to get most of the heavy pouring done early in the morning. We often go over to the dhaba for a quick bite when we have a break. It’s a plain, hardworking environment where the main goal is just to get the next batch of bricks ready for whoever needs them next.
