Lal Chandra Krishan Lal

You can find Lal Chandra Krishan Lal at Plot No. 404 in the New Anaj Mandi, right along the Gt Road. Being in the grain market means our schedule follows the seasons pretty closely. When the harvest comes in, this whole area gets packed with grain and people. It’s a lot of noise and dust, but that’s the nature of the New Anaj Mandi. We deal with the buying and selling of crops, and our spot at Plot 404 is usually piled high with bags of grain waiting to be moved. The Gt Road is always humming with trucks, which is helpful for transport but makes for a lot of traffic. Our day starts early, often before the sun is fully up, to get things ready for the day’s trade. There isn't much in the way of a fancy office here; we mostly work out of the warehouse area. It’s a lot of physical work, loading and unloading, and checking the quality of what’s coming in from the fields. We’ve seen many seasons pass from this location. Some years are better than others depending on the rain and the crops. We just stay focused on the work at hand and try to keep things organized in the middle of all the market chaos. It's a busy life, but it's what we know.
