Too long a working hours.
Not legal.
There should be a shift system, and more guards.

You should give a legal notice and thereafter move to Lobour Court under the provisions of Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 according to which you cannot be forced to work for more than 9 hours a day which includes one complete hour for rest.
