TUKI FLY ASH BRICKS PRIVATE LIMITED

Our place is located in Kaligram, right near the girls' school in Burdwan. If you are looking for us, we are basically at the spot handled by Md Sarif Mia, who is the son of Abdus Salam Mia. Making fly ash bricks is a dusty business, and being so close to the school means we have to be careful about the noise and the trucks during the day. The yard is usually full of bricks stacked up waiting to go out to various construction sites around the Bardhaman area. It is a simple operation. We don’t have a fancy office or anything, just the space we need to manufacture and store the bricks. The weather out here in West Bengal can be a bit unpredictable, so when it rains, we have to scurry around to make sure everything is covered up right. Working with fly ash is different from the traditional clay bricks, and we spend a lot of time just managing the raw materials that come in. Most of the guys here are from the local area, so we all know each other well. We have our tea breaks under the shade when the sun gets too strong in the afternoon. It is hard work, especially when you are moving heavy stacks of bricks all day long. We just focus on getting the orders filled and keeping the machinery in good shape so we don't have any downtime. It is a practical life, and we try to keep things moving as best as we can.
