## Resource

First, we speak to The Indian Express’ Sabah Virani about the landslide that struck the newly inaugurated Mumbai-Pune Expressway Missing Link during its first monsoon, and what the incident reveals about the engineering, safety measures, and long-term resilience of one of Maharashtra’s biggest infrastructure projects. Next, we talk to The Indian Express’ Sukhbir Siwach about the case of a 16-year-old migrant boy from Bihar who was found in Haryana with his arm severed, and how the incident has exposed the vulnerability of migrant children to exploitation despite existing labour protections. (11:20) And in the end, we look at a CBI investigation into an alleged scholarship fraud in Bhopal, where nearly ₹99.5 lakh meant for MBA students was allegedly siphoned off through bank accounts opened in their names without their knowledge. (21:20) Hosted by Ichha Sharma Produced and written by Shashank Bhargava, Niharika Nanda and Ichha Sharma Edited and mixed by Suresh Pawar
