Tata Iron And Steel Company ,Tarapur

You can find us out at the Tata Steel Officer'S Colony in Boisar. The address is MD-1/4, which is near the P.O-Kudan area in Kurgaon. It is part of the Palghar district now, but many people still think of it as being part of the wider Thane region. Getting here means driving down the Boisar-Tarapur Road. It is a long road with a lot of industrial units on both sides. The colony itself is a bit of a relief because it has some trees and a little more space than the crowded streets outside. It is a quiet place to live and work. We don't have any big signs or advertisements. Most people who come here already know where they are going. The life here is dictated by the factory cycles and the local train timings. Sometimes the electricity goes out for a bit, or the water pressure is low, but we just deal with it. It is an honest living. The staff here mostly lives nearby, so we all know each other’s families. We don’t spend time making things look fancy for visitors. We are more concerned with the actual operations at the Tarapur plant. The monsoon can be quite heavy here, making the roads a bit messy, but we just put on our boots and keep going. It is just a normal, busy day at the colony for all of us.
