Summary

First, we speak with The Indian Express' Legal Affairs Editor Apurva Vishwanath about the Supreme Court upholding the legality of the Special Intensive Revision process. She talks about the judgement, why the SIR was challenged in the first place and what it means for the people whose names have been deleted from the electoral rolls. Next, we talk to The Indian Express' Vidheesha Kuntamalla about the CBSE's newly launched On-Screen Marking system for the class 12 board examinations. She details how the system works, why the CBSE opted for online checking and the controversy that surfaced due to discrepancies pointed out by the students. (18:39) Lastly, we discuss the collapse of a building in South Delhi's Saket which killed four people and injured ten. (30:33) Hosted by Niharika Nanda Produced by Shashank Bhargava and Niharika Nanda Edited and mixed by Suresh Pawar
