Huge buildings are constructed almost everyday in the City of Mumbai. Cheap labour but exotic and costly buildings. Well let's accept the cheap labour but what about labour safety. Seen in this photograph are labours setting up a scaffolding without any harness or safety devices (They are constructing the12th floor)
