Prime Minister Narendra Modi, meanwhile, has called on citizens to adopt the nation's "Arogya Setu" contact-tracing app.

How's that going to work with the number of dumb/featurephones about which don't use apps and with phones which are shared between several people?

Seems this is less about useful contact tracing and more about yet another tool which helps the inquisition should they already have someone in their sights.
