Scaling electric poles for line repairs

Scaling electric poles for line repairs is a routine task for electricians, also known as lineman, of the Department of Power, Nagaland. A dangerous job that claims lives, this lot of under-paid yet essential workers often respond to emergency calls without any personal safety gear. Seen in the picture is a lineman fixing a powerline somewhere in Tuensang town. (Morung Photo by Moses Hongang Chang)
