Critical Commentary
The autorickshaw driver shows me a mobile phone given to him by "IGL people" to show customers the daily Air Quality Index. It was initially strapped in front of the passenger seats, but one customer tried to wring it out. Since then, the mobile phone is kept out of customers' sights. He showed it to me when I asked him about posters inside his autorickshaw. AQI is 100, moderate.
