## Resource

Welcome to today’s edition of Indian Updates on Radio Haanji 1674 AM, hosted by Ranjodh Singh with expert commentary from political analyst Pritam Singh Rupal. In this episode, we deliver a comprehensive breakdown of the historic welfare scheme launch in Dhuri, explaining how the initial three-month direct benefit transfers are reaching millions of women across Punjab, along with the strict eligibility guidelines built into the policy. We then transition into the political theater, providing an unfiltered look at the structural shake-up within the Punjab Congress unit. Our hosts discuss whether the high command’s multi-layered management approach is a strategic move to balance competing factions or an indicator of internal indecision ahead of the 2027 elections. We wrap up the segment with ground-level community updates, including the latest Bombay High Court decision on Sikh helmet exemptions and the arrival of seasonal monsoon rains across Punjab and Haryana.
