Published 1 day, 10 hours ago
Description
First, we speak to The Indian Express’ Atri Mitra about the police cases and serious allegations surrounding Sebaashray, the healthcare initiative closely associated with Abhishek Banerjee’s Diamond Harbour Model, and why he has dismissed the accusations as politically motivated.
Next, we speak to The Indian Express’ Sabah Virani about plans for Third Mumbai, a new urban centre spanning 124 villages, the protests surrounding land acquisition, and whether the project can improve connectivity and ease pressure on Mumbai. (08:05)
And in the end, we look at Karnataka’s year-long ban on the manufacture, storage, transportation, distribution and sale of gutka, pan masala and other products containing tobacco or nicotine, and how the measure will be enforced across the state. (17:05)
