Lafarge India Pvt. Ltd.

We are out at the Sonadih Cement Plant, which is a bit of a drive from Raipur. Our actual address is Quarter No C/15 in the Lafarge Colony. This is under the Raseda Post Office in the Raipur district. Living and working in a plant colony is a specific kind of life. Everything revolves around the plant schedule. The air always has a bit of dust in it, and you can hear the hum of the machinery in the distance. Quarter C/15 is just one of the many company-provided houses here. It is a small place, but it serves as our base of operations. There are trees planted along the colony roads to try and keep things green, but the heat in Chhattisgarh is tough on them. We have a small group of us here, and we mostly just stick to ourselves. The colony has its own little world with a small shop and a place for people to gather. It is a long way from the main city of Raipur, so we don't get many visitors. Most of our work is tied directly to what happens at the plant. It isn't a glamorous setup by any means. The furniture is old and the floors are concrete. We just get on with our tasks and try to keep things running smoothly. It is a simple, hardworking environment for people who don't need much fuss to stay busy with their daily routines.
