Assam floods, inside a new cyber threat, and Pradhan welcomed in LS
Published 8 hours ago
Description
First, we speak to The Indian Express’ Sukrita Baruah about the devastating floods in Assam that have claimed dozens of lives, displaced lakhs of people, and triggered one of the state's largest rescue operations in recent years. She explains what has made this year's floods particularly severe, the scale of the destruction, and the challenges that still lie ahead.
Next, we talk to The Indian Express’ Mohamed Thaver about a sophisticated "boss scam" in Mumbai, where a senior company executive transferred more than Rs 10 crore after receiving WhatsApp messages that appeared to come from his employer. We discuss how the fraud unfolded, why companies remain vulnerable, and what businesses can do to prevent similar cyberattacks. (11:05)
And in the end, we look at former Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's first appearance in Parliament after his resignation, where he received a rousing welcome from BJP MPs even as the Opposition protested and repeatedly disrupted Lok Sabha proceedings. (23:45)
