The Atal Setu bridge, Mumbai Police Fund, and tension in Manipur



First, on Friday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi officially inaugurated the 22km long Mumbai Trans Harbour Link, also known as the Atal Setu Nhava Sheva Sea Link. To understand the kind of work that went into building such a massive bridge and how it will aid commuters, we have Indian Express’ Sweety Adimulam, in this segment.
Second, back in 2018, the Mumbai police department established a fund, the Mumbai Police Foundation. However, a recent RTI filed by The Indian Express has brought to light that the Mumbai police also received contributions from entities that were being investigated by the department. In this segment, we speak to Indian Express’ Mohamed Thaver who filed the RTI for the paper. 11:12

Lastly, we talk about the arrest of two suspects in connection with the killing of police officer Anand Kumar, in Manipur’s Moreh, which caused tension in the town. 9:03
