Even though Manickpur was built on stony land, there was sweet, semi-salty, and salty land around it. Similarly, there were [[Dry lake|Salt pans]] across it. The number of people of Manickpur actually working in the saltpans was very low, but those engaged in associated activities were high. Transportation of salt and the making of wooden covers for salt were some of the activities. ''Sutar-Ali'' (carpenters), ''Kumbhar-Ali'' (potters), and ''Kolis'' (fishing) were engaged in their traditional activities. The [[Western Railway Zone (India)|railway]] added to their source of income.
