Jindal Steel & Power Ltd. Raigarh

We're located over at the Dongamahua site in Tamnar. If you’re looking for us, we are right at Quarter Number 1 in the Jindal Colony, which serves as the officer hostel. It’s pretty close to the coal mines. Living where you work means you’re always around the action. The rooms are basic but they do the job for the guys staying here. We see the trucks going in and out of the mines all day long. Raigarh is a big district and this corner of it is busy with all the mining activity. It’s not a place for tourists, that’s for sure. It’s for people who aren't afraid of a bit of dirt and hard work. We have our meals together and talk about the shifts. Sometimes the heat in Tamnar is really something else. You just have to drink plenty of water and keep going. The colony is its own little world. We’ve got everything we need right here. We don’t need to go into the main town very often. People come from all over to work here. It’s a mix of different backgrounds but we all have the same goal of getting the coal out and the steel moving. It’s a practical life. No one puts on airs here. We just wake up, go to the mine, and come back to the hostel to rest up for the next day.
