Durga Rice Industries

If you are looking for Durga Rice Industries, you’ll have to head over to Mohalla Makundi in Kurala. It is tucked away in a part of town that feels a bit more like a community than just a business district. The mill sits there among the other buildings, and you can usually tell where we are by the sound of the engines running. Kurala is a quiet enough place most of the time, but the mill keeps things moving. We deal with a lot of local grain, and the people who bring it in are often our neighbors. There is nothing very modern about the way we set things up; it’s just the same reliable machinery we’ve used for years. We spend our days climbing over stacks of bags and making sure the conveyor belts are doing their job. Sometimes the power goes out, and everything goes silent for a bit, which is a strange feeling in a place that is usually so loud. We use that time to sweep up or grab a tea. The work is steady, and it follows the cycle of the seasons. When the rice is ready, we are working late into the night. When it’s not, we are mostly doing maintenance and cleaning up. We don’t put on any airs about being a big corporation. We are just a local industry in Mohalla Makundi, trying to handle the rice as best we can and keep the doors open.
