## Resource

First, we speak with The Indian Express' Raakhi Jagga about farmers' protests being staged in five Indian states: Punjab, Haryana, Bihar, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. She shares that the protests stem from a shortage of fertilisers that are required for the paddy season. She discusses the reasons behind this, how it will impact the paddy and more. Next, we speak with The Indian Express' Pratip Acharya about the newly inaugurated Mrinaltai Gore flyover in Mumbai. Videos of the flyover are going viral showing gravel and uneven spots on it. Pratip shares the reasons behind it, what these videos show and mean and what can be expected going forward.
