Summary

First, we speak to The Indian Express’ Sohini Ghosh about the Delhi Gymkhana Club eviction row, why the Centre has asked one of Delhi’s oldest elite institutions to vacate its Lutyens’ premises, and how a parallel rent dispute has complicated the standoff. Next, we talk to The Indian Express’ Jayprakash Naidu about the worsening drinking water crisis in Riwa village near Raipur, where residents continue to struggle for water despite the promises of the Jal Jeevan Mission. (15:40) And in the end, we look at the latest chapter in the collapse of Byju’s, after founder Byju Raveendran was sentenced to six months in jail by a Singapore court over non-compliance with disclosure orders. (21:55) Hosted by Ichha Sharma Produced and written by Shashank Bhargava and Ichha Sharma Edited and mixed by Suresh Pawar
