The accidents on the Delhi Metro project have raised serious questions over worker (and public) safety, and somewhat clouded a proud infrastructure success. Unmindful of all that, three unsung heroes toil manfully on a pillar for the Bangalore Metro project on CMH Road on Wednesday.

Thanks for putting up photos of construction workers at their arduous job site. They live in miserable shacks lacking sanitary conveniences. They are denied facilities like PPF, EPF and medicalcare. Their children no education. Once the project gets finished they migrate to some other place. No proper safety gears – Till recently they did not even get helmets. If there are accidents the blame is transferred to sub-contractor. Both the main contractor and the client who is the primary employer as per the law escape
We have yet to see workers cabins – provided in the West. Even though there 12 different regulations none protect them!
