Traffic has slowed to a trickle near Jangpura Metro station where two tired rickshaw pullers are calling it a night. Dressed down to their lungis, Bhajan Lal and Vishwajeet Mondal carefully unfold a pink mosquito net, rig it up, and then tie the loose ends to their rickshaws. “Don’t worry about rain,” advises Mr Mondal. “We’re protected by the elevated rail roof…”As we slowly crawl in, Mr Mondal relates a recent disaster in his life. “We do so much hard pulling that we sleep very well,” replies Mr Mondal.
