Pollution's toll on athletes, SIM card fraud, and gangs hire jobless
Published 1 month ago
Description
First, we talk to The Indian Express' Mihir Vasavda about how a growing number of athletes and coaches are saying that training outdoors in India is becoming less about performance and more about basic survival in the toxic winter air and extreme summer heat. And what this means when India has put in its bid for Olympics 2036.
Next, we talk to The Indian Express' Himanshu Harsh about the Bihar police uncovering an illegal SIM network which was allegedly being used to reroute international calls and carry out cyber fraud, with links to countries like Cambodia and Thailand.
Lastly, we talk about how extortion rackets are becoming increasingly sophisticated, with shooters taking instructions through encrypted apps and never knowing who is really behind the orders.
