Earning Daily bread in India.
WHAT HAPPENED TO MY PHOTOS ?
THE PHOTOS SHOWED WORK BEING DONE WITHOUT SAFETY MEASURES. 
HAS SOME ONE REMOVED THEM DELIBERATELY ?








No safety belts ,
No helmets ,
No Safety precautions whatsoever.
May be no compensation either in case of a mishap or a drop ,
 That would be worst then " KA " dropping from the name of the building .

Added on 08 December 2013.

I saw this tower being erected during my morning walk on the 5th of this month .It was being built and I saw people working on it without any safety equipment or safety precautions. That is when I had taken two photos were put up on the blog  on the 5th and which have now been removed by some one.



What struck me most was that those involved in the erection work and working on the structure  at heights of more than 15 to 20 feet above the terrace level were working without helmets , safety ropes or apparently without any safety precautions whatsoever . It forcefully brought home the fact that by and large we by and large ignore safety precautions in our industry , take for example , welding and machining on lathes being done without eye protection , construction of multistory buildings by clambering on rickety bamboo structures , whitewashing of exteriors of multistory  building hanging on a rope ladders etc . One can go on with list of activities being carried out without regard to safety of workers .All this is done to save money , without realising the risk to the workers .
My intention in putting those pictures on the blog was to increase public awareness  about our negligent attitude to SAFETY .
The photos were not offensive at all so How can they be removed by by whom & for what reason. Apparently and logically only  company and / or contractor carrying out the job would remove them fearing penal action .
IS there any way we can find out and / or restore the photos .
Suggestions welcome .
