Bhuli, India

Bhuli is a neighbourhood in Dhanbad in Dhanbad Sadar subdivision of Dhanbad district in Jharkhand, India.

It is famous for being the largest workers' colony in Asia. Town is managed by Bharat Coking Coal Limited(BCCL). Majority of the population used to work in BCCL; but out of the 6011 BCCL quarters in Bhuli, nearly 4021 are illegally occupied by retired employees and this has become a very controversial topic.

Maintenance work of quarters and road is undertaken by Bhuli Town Administration, situated near A-Block Post Office.

Bhuli township was constructed in 1951 by The Coal Mines Welfare Organisation (CMWO) under the Ministry of Labour to provide housing facilities to miners. Bhuli is divided into 5 blocks. Initially it consisted only three blocks- Block-'A', 'B' and 'C'. Each block has 600 quarters. Each quarter is single storeyed; having two bedrooms, one kitchen, a veranda, a washroom, a bathroom and a small yard. Every quarter has a tree planted in its yard. The three blocks were transferred to BCCL in 1986. Two new blocks ('D' and 'E') were constructed in 1978 directly under the control of BCCL. But, the buildings in these blocks were made 3 storeyed, having 4 quarters at each storey, in contrast to Block A, B and C. Also, the new buildings lacked a yard and veranda, but provided a balcony for each quarter. Today, there are a total of 6011 quarters in all over the Bhuli Township. The whole town is based on grid pattern.

Bhuli is located at 23°48′49″N 86°23′19″E / 23.8137°N 86.3887°E / 23.8137; 86.3887.

Bhuli, earlier a census town, was combined with other urban units to form Dhanbad Municipal Corporation in 2006.

Bhuli is spread over parts of Ward Nos. 14, 15 and 16 of Dhanbad Municipal Corporation.
