The quarries in Assam represent possibly the most exploitative sector in the state, with hazardous labour conditions and complete lack of unionisation to fight for greater benefits. In addition there is rampant use of child labour, paltry wages and no facilities for drinking water, creches, sanitation or shelter. Harsh material conditions force villagers to come to work in the quarries.

If quarry work is what I have seen in the past loss of eye-sight from airborne miniature granite and stone chips is a not-uncommon hazard. I imagine no goggles are provided to at least the children.
