Safety takes backseat in India

I am surprised to see painting work lamp post being done at Lattice Bridge Road at 5 PM. I could also see the workers filling pits on the road with semi warm 'Blue metal mixed with tar' and using wooden blocks to level the same. This is the time when the traffic is at peak. There was no warning sign either before 30 meters to caution the road users. [December 2010, 26th , around 5 PM]

My God, Safety takes back seat in India.
