## Resource

First, we speak with The Indian Express' Brendan Dabhi about the latest Chandipura virus outbreak in Gujarat, where 25 children have died and 39 have been confirmed infected. But the biggest question that medical professionals and researchers can't answer is where the virus is coming from. Next, we speak with The Indian Express' Sujit Bisoyi about a cargo ship that sank off the coast of Odisha, leaving 22 seafarers missing. He talks about the ship, the search and rescue operations, the two crew members who have been rescued and the investigation. (12:23) Lastly, we discuss the Delhi Police's decision to expand its information-gathering efforts and collect more specific intelligence ahead of every planned protest, as a takeaway from the CJP protests. (19:21) Hosted by Niharika Nanda Produced by Shashank Bhargava, Ichha Sharma, and Niharika Nanda Edited and mixed by Suresh Pawar
