Dandot RS

Shireen Abad (Dandot RS) ( Urdu شیریں آباد ڈنڈوت آر ایس ) is a village, union council Golepur, and administrative subdivision of Jhelum District (Urdu جہلم) in the Punjab Province of Pakistan.

Kaala Teeashun (Dark Station)[3] the name is a reference to the first railway station which was set up in the area by British to extract coal and gypsum in early 1930’s.

Around this time Dalmia-Jain Group (now Dalmia-Bharat) also set its sight on this barren land.

Due to abundance of gypsum, the prime raw material in cement production, this was a prime location to set up a cement plant.

This included both skilled and unskilled workers; the former mostly worked at the cement plant whereas the later were associated with numerous small scale businesses, coal mines and gypsum quarries around the factory.
