A.C.C.Limited

Over here at the Chaibasa Cement Works in Jhinkpani, things move at their own pace. We are part of the A.C.C.Limited setup in this corner of Jharkhand. Uday Prakash Singh handles a lot of the day-to-day stuff here. The air always has that heavy feel of an industrial site. You get used to the sound of the machinery after a few days. It’s a big area, 833215 is the code, but it feels like a small village because everyone knows each other. We spend most of our time on-site, making sure the works are running. It’s not a clean job. There’s dust on everything, from the windows to the ledgers. We don't have a big fancy office building with glass walls. It’s more of a practical space. We drink a lot of tea and talk about the production schedules. Sometimes the rain in Jharkhand comes down so hard we have to pause everything. The roads around here aren’t always the best, so getting supplies in can be a bit of a headache. But we manage. It’s just how it is working at a cement plant. People come and go, but the work stays the same. We just keep our heads down and get through the shifts. It’s a bit out of the way, but we like it that way. We don't worry about being polished; we just focus on the job.
