Road Construction

• All over the place is under construction in order

  construction site, the hole is gradually made by
  hand. The progress of construction is slow since
  they do not use machines.

Auto-rickshaw

• The auto-rickshaws are an important and popular
  means of public transportation in the large
  cities, as they are cheaper than taxis. Hiring an
  Auto is very tricky, as very few auto-drivers
  agree to standard meter charges. The typical
  method is to haggle for an agreeable rate. This
  rarely is a source of conflict, because the fares
  charged are modest and the ride ensures speedy
  arrival to the destination.

  industrialization.
