Ashraf Stone

Working with stone is a heavy job and that is exactly what we do here at Sy No 14 in Allapur village. We are located in the Tandur mandal of Rangareddy district. If you know this area, you know that stone is a big part of life here. Our yard is usually filled with slabs and pieces of rock waiting to be moved or worked on. It is a dusty environment and the sun can be really strong out here in Tandur. We wear our old boots and clothes because everything gets covered in grit by the end of the day. There is no point in trying to stay clean when you are moving heavy stones around. We have some basic equipment to help us, but a lot of it is just manual labor and knowing how to handle the material. The pin code is 501141 if you are trying to find the exact spot on a map. We have been here for a good while and have seen the village change around us. Most of the guys working here are from nearby, so we all know each other well. It is not an easy way to make a living, but it is honest work. We don't spend money on marketing or big signs. People just know we are here at Sy No 14. We focus on the stone and making sure we get the sizes right for the people who ask us for help.
