Summary
First, we speak to The Indian Express’ Nikhil Ghanekar about the legal challenge to the Great Nicobar mega project, and the allegations that tribal consent and forest rights protections were bypassed to clear the project. Next, we talk to The Indian Express’ Anonna Dutt about the nationwide strike by chemists and druggists, who say e-pharmacies and instant medicine delivery platforms are operating without adequate regulation. (11:40) And in the end, we look at the criminal investigation into the death of Twisha Sharma in Noida, where allegations of dowry harassment and coercion have emerged alongside counterclaims from the accused family.
