A rare insight into the lives of Pakistani workers, please show more of the lives of the working class average Pakistani people as opposed to the lives of elite of the Pakistanis.

Good photography. However its the same all over the world for workers employed in the steel industry. Its poverty and lack of education that is forcing these people into these jobs. Not that they are powerful or hard workers

Amazing and very strong pictures. Even though these people are forced to worked these jobs due to poverty but we should still appreciate their hard work. These are the unsung heroes of Pakistan.

Absolutely brilliant pics of hardworking men. But I am appalled that the mill is still using 1940's technology for drawing rebars, whereas, the world over companies have moved to SMS continuous casting technology. These pics represent a medieval phase in steel making technology. Shame on owners of these mills who are exploiting cheap labour, rather than investing in new plant technology.
