Summary
First, we speak to The Indian Express’ Udit Misra and Aanchal Magazine about the rising trend of taking loans in India. They share how easy access to credit is one of the reasons India’s household debt has risen sharply in recent years. And why this is also something the Reserve Bank of India is increasingly concerned about. Next, we speak to The Indian Express’ Sweety Kumari about Kolkata's RG Kar hospital which was the site for a 31 year old junior doctor's sexual assault and murder two years back. She talks about the hospital, the changes it has seen in the last two years and whether or not the doctors feel safe. (14:43) And in the end, we talk about a building collapse in Delhi's Satya Niketan that took multiple lives and critically injured many others. (25:23) Hosted by Niharika Nanda Produced and written by Shashank Bhargava and Niharika Nanda Edited and mixed by Suresh Pawar
