Hello dear friends,

How are you all? I hope you are well. I am also fine by the grace of Allah. Today, I have come to participate in the second week of the Steemit Challenge SLC-S27/W2, organized by the Honorable teacher @max-pro sir. He has brought a fully uncommon and thoughtful challenge, whose name is "A One-Day Street Journalist: Factory and industrial area businesses."I feel proud to participate in this challenge.

Today I have arrived in Shyampur, a famous industrial area of the country. The area is famous for its steel mill factory. Numerous workers work in industrial areas, and there are many mobile shops around the factory to meet the daily food needs, clothing needs, and other needs of these low-income workers.
Although the food in the shops is not always healthy, due to low income, they are forced to depend on these food shops. Today, as a journalist, I am visiting the shops next to the factory from the perspective of a journalist, and observing their lifestyle. In light of that observation, I will answer the questions of the respected teacher @Max-Pro, sir.

What are the popular businesses in the industrial area of ​​your city?

There are many industrial establishments in the industrial area of Shyampur. Each industrial establishment has many employees. They have various needs; to fulfill those needs, various shops are set up in open spaces around the factory. Most of the shops are food-related. Some shops have mobile bread shops where bread, eggs, and vegetables are always sold, some shops have noodles and pasta, some have haleem, some have coconut, and we also see the presence of various shops, including Banaji medicine shops, flex iLoad shops, fruit shops, and cloth shops.
Each shop is open 24 hours. Because factories produce 24 hours a day, the employees have to eat from time to time. They mainly collect their necessary food from these shops most of the time. The food here is kept within the purchasing range of the workers so that low-income workers can get their food at a low price.
That is why when I went to visit the shops in the afternoon, I saw the presence of customers in almost all the shops.

Have you ever bought anything from these stores? Show pictures + videos and show their prices.

I myself work in a steel mill, and I am also not a child of a wealthy family. Besides, the food from roadside shops is my favorite food. Whenever I get time and opportunity, I eat food from these shops.
Even today, when I come to report for the Steemit Challenge, it is between noon and the afternoon. I visit a few shops. I see a shop selling fresh noodles and pasta. This is one of my favorite foods. I select the shop for reporting.

I go to the shop. Two stools are placed on both sides of the shop. Some customers are sitting there enjoying noodles and pasta. I saw some more people ordering and waiting for their food. I try to talk to him. He is spending his time busily. In the midst of his busyness, I collect some information about him. I can find out from him. The three of them take turns running this food shop. The meals are prepared separately for three meals at home, only heated at the shop, so that the customers can enjoy the taste of hot pasta. I see an LP gas bottle next to the shop; I see the food being heated with that gas.
They charge 20 taka per plate of pasta, 1.33 steem. In this way, they sell about 500-700 plates of pasta 24 hours a day,
With the income from this shop, he manages his family of 8 members, educates his children, and also keeps a deposit in the bank.
I ordered one plate of pasta. The pasta and noodles were mixed, heated, and served to me with tomato sauce. I enjoyed the taste of the pasta.

Why are workers or normal people more attracted to these stalls?

I have already said that the area is industrial. Usually, workers work here and there, and there are buses nearby for rent. Since they are low-income people, they look for low-priced shops to meet their food needs.
On the other hand, the shops here also prepare food considering their purchasing power to meet the food needs of low-income people. Mainly for this reason, small mobile shops are crowded in the workers' area. Besides, the common people around are also attracted to these shops to meet their food needs.
For reporting, I visit a few shops in the area. I try to check the quality of their food. I also eat food from one shop. I have seen that although the food is prepared in an ordinary place, the quality of the food is fairly good. It is washed with clean water and then served. Besides, the prices of the food are very low. A plate of pasta at a fast-food restaurant costs 100-150 taka or 6.67-10.00 steem, while at these restaurants it costs only 20 taka and 1.33 steem.
Naturally, workers and the general public flock to these restaurants, prioritizing financial savings.

Foods are cheaper then other shopsLMC_20251006_170837_🌈Color boost By Expert Mistry.jpg
Are these businesses creating income opportunities for people around the factories?

A very good question. My answer is yes. These businesses are creating income opportunities for people around the factory. Just as thousands of workers are employed here, many types of businesses have been established to support the factory and its workers. A shop needs people to prepare food, sell food, and clean it. An estimated at least 5-6 people are needed behind a shop. So, it can be seen that a large number of people are creating income opportunities by doing this work. They are benefiting financially by working here. An opportunity is being created to live happily with their families.
So, I would say that the shops located next to the factories are not only doing their own business but are also providing income to many other people.
