Summary
First, we speak with The Indian Express' Dheeraj Mishra about an audit of Indian non suburban railway stations conducted by the Comptroller and Auditor General. He shares the issues and lapses highlighted during the audit, the concerns they raise and the steps the government is taking. Next, we speak with The Indian Express' Pratip Acharya about the Dharavi redevelopment project and the requirement to clear the Deonar landfill for it. He discusses the challenges the project faces, the delay in clearing the landfill, the prescribed timeline and the current status of the project. (11:10) Lastly, we discuss the Supreme Court reconsidering the University Grants Commission regulations aimed at preventing caste discrimination in higher education institutions and why it has put the government in a politically difficult position.
