History
Kaala Teeashun (Dark Station) the name is a reference to the first railway station which was set up in the area by the British Raj to extract coal and gypsum in the early 1930s. Due to the abundance of gypsum, the prime raw material in cement production, this was a prime location to set up a cement plant. Thus began influx of workers and their families to the area. This included both skilled and unskilled workers; the former mostly worked at the cement plant whereas the latter were associated with numerous small-scale businesses, coal mines and gypsum quarries around the factory.
