D K Engineering Works

It is always loud here at Shahdara Jhilmil Industrial Area. We are at A 9/2, and if you walk by, you’ll probably hear the machines humming or the sound of metal being cut. The floor is usually covered in a bit of oil and metal shavings, no matter how much we try to keep it clean. It’s an industrial spot, so nobody expects it to be pretty. I have been working in this area for a long time. The air smells like grease and burnt electricity most days. We have a small crew of guys who know their way around the lathes and the drills. It’s not an office job. We are usually wearing stained clothes and looking at drawings or parts that need fixing. People from other shops around Jhilmil drop by to borrow a tool or just to see how a job is going. It is a busy atmosphere, especially when there is a deadline for a batch of parts. Sometimes the power goes out, and everything goes quiet for a bit, which is actually a strange feeling in this neighborhood. Then we just sit outside the gate until it comes back on. It’s practical work. We don’t spend money on fancy signs or advertising. People find us because we’ve been here at this address for years and they know we just get the job done without any fuss. It’s a hard way to make a living, but it’s what we do for the customers.
