Selling model kits in Asansol
Asansol is a coal and steel city in the same industrial belt, older and less planned than Durgapur nearby. The market is practical and equipment-led, and decorative goods have little audience here.
Coal and steel employment dominate and move households on industrial rather than seasonal cycles. Dust is constant and worth considering for anything with a motor or a filter.
The city is spread around the industrial areas and driving is the normal way to collect anything substantial. Traffic is heavy on the main routes through.
Coal and industrial dust get everywhere. On anything with a motor or a filter, ask about storage and plan to clean it thoroughly before use.

Handing it over in Asansol
