Workers lay underground cable in Delhi _ archaic method for modern tech

Indian workers laying an underground cable in South Delhi, India.

Heave ho - and the Volga Boatmen come to mind...?

With the introduction of new internet and communications technologies, the need for laying high-end, high-capacity internet and other cables such as fiber / fibre optic has stepped up in India, but it's still done in a rather archaic and basic fashion!
