Asansol's work is built around collieries, the Burnpur steel plant and a big railway division. You can request an online medical certificate in Asansol from home, and a registered doctor reviews it.
If the doctor finds a certificate appropriate, it's sent to you digitally.

Coal Dust and Chest Problems
Mining, transport and steel work in the Asansol belt put a lot of dust in the air. Long-term coughs, breathlessness and chest infections are common. If you're coughing for weeks, losing weight or breathless, see a doctor in person. It may need tests.
Hot Summers
Asansol and Durgapur are among the hottest parts of West Bengal, and May can pass 45°C. Mine and furnace workers face even more heat on the job. Drink water often and watch for dizziness or cramps.
Truck and Bus Drivers on NH19
The highway through Asansol carries heavy truck and bus traffic. If you need a commercial licence or are renewing after 40, you'll need a Form 1A certificate. For ordinary illness on the road, you can request a sick leave certificate here.
Families at the District Hospital
Patients from across the subdivision are treated at the district hospital and the hospitals in Durgapur. If you're on leave to look after someone, ask your employer about a caretaker certificate.
