Since my last visit to the city, I always had a common question in my mind. How did Dhanbad became such a huge city from a small village? My grandfather's friend used to live in Dhanbad village(then Bengal). Coal field and Grand Chord were/are the resources yet how it got that huge chunk of population(specially from Bihar)?
