ACC Colony, BCW (Bhupindra Cement Works), Surajpur
I lived in this beautiful place for some months, during very important days of my life. I wish that this factory had survived to have one more living at BCW

[ ACC plant shut down and colony is abandoned now]

  • We lived in this place from 1973 to 1986. It was a beautiful place. Visited few years back along with my children and visited the house F-2 where we used to live. The mango tree was still there.
  • Hi! I have some fond memories of staying at Bhupendra Cements Works township in 1985 for about 4 months. Everyday without fail I would go to the temple by crossing the railway track and pray for a son. The Amba Mata blessed me with a son who I named as Suraj. Can anyone tell me whether the temple just across the quarters still exists. Now my son is 27 years but I want to show the temple where I used to pray. Rekha E., Mumbai

  • Hi, feels so good to see this place. I stayed her in 1995/96 or so, some years before the plant shut down. I still remember the pathway to my house, we used to stay in the manager's quarters and there were shehtoot ke ped behind my house. I would eat the fruit with joy. I also remember the guesthouse and some great food they cooked. Is the school still functional?
  • Hi Guys my mother spent her childhood in 1967 in Surajpur and I want to take her back to show around do we still have something left of that beautiful place the way she keeps describing me about ? Please advise ~ Rajat Kaul
  • We had a class fellow, Shashi Sehgal , !953 to 57. Her father was chief engineer for the factory?
  • My husband Santosh s/o Sivasankaran stayed throughout his schooling ( Sacred Heart and NPS 18 ) 1970-80 and has unbelievably fond memories of Surajpur where he was closest to Mother Nature. Having stayed out of India for decades and having visited more than 30 countries, he still rates Surajpur one among the top places. It is unfortunate and saddening to hear about its present condition; can it be revived back to it days of glory ?...
  • It is me who posted it and not my wife
  • I spend my Chilhood in Surajpur 1975 to 1981. My father worked at BCW. Watching the ropeway trolleys, A small park at Do Saraka (Panchkula road), snowfall at hills in winter. Simply anytime walking to Pinjore Garden, HMT Lovely memories. Best lifetime of my parents and me(Kid)
  • What is saddening
  • I grew up in Surajpur (1976-1987). I still kept going back there until like 1994 or so to visit my uncle who still lived there that time. Surajpur is my favorite place til date. Had the best time of my life there. Nothing beats it.
  • Hey, F-2 was my childhood home. You shifted there after my father retired. I tell my grand daughter about all the trees my father planted there and the ones which were there before he started living there. The kalami mango tree was already there. He planted the langda mango tree and many more.
