Jamshedpur: These days, a strange sight on the streets of Iron City has become the center of people’s curiosity. While passing through areas like Sakchi and Burmamines, people are stunned to see a tractor-trolley. Which is loaded with giant pink stones. These stones, which at first glance look like pieces of a mountain, are actually not ordinary rocks, but rock salt which is considered a boon for health.

Journey from Hanumangarh to Jamshedpur
These days, Shankar and his team, who came from Hanumangarh, Haryana, are roaming around the city selling this special salt. These people bring huge salt rocks decorated on the tractor itself. Shankar tells that he brings these stones by breaking them from the mountains. Delivered directly to customers in pure form.

Health Treasures, available for ₹80 to ₹100
People are getting more attracted towards this rock salt as compared to the refined salt available in the market. In Jamshedpur, this rock salt (pink stone) is being sold at the rate of ₹ 80 per kg and black salt prepared by special method is being sold at the rate of ₹ 100 per kg. It is said that black salt is prepared by heating it in an earthen pot. Which is very effective in digestion and gas problems.

Why is the crowd gathering?
The demand for this salt, which is generally used in fasting and fasting, is now increasing in daily food as well. People are considering it as a guarantee of purity because it is present directly in front of them in the form of a stone. Seeing the tractor loaded with pink stones, a huge crowd of not only buyers but also curious passers-by is gathering. The most interesting thing is that the way of selling it is also a little different. Big salt stones have been decorated on the tractor. People are called by making a special sound. When this cart filled with pink stones passes through the road, people definitely stop and look at it.
