Members of the Manhole Workers Union in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India, at work on a clogged sewer. If the pole doesn't work, one with strip-off and jump in to unplug it by hand. With no zoning in the Canadian sense, the sewers contain a mix of industrial and residential wastes. The Union's members, not surprisingly, suffer from high rates of injury and death due to work-related causes. The bike is the repair vehicle the workers are given, the poles on it their tools.
