While this is happening against the backdrop of the Iran war, the reason behind this is India's forex or foreign exchange reserves which have sharply depleted since the war began. Next, we talk to The Indian Express' Parul Kulshrestha about cases of maternal deaths that have surfaced in Rajasthan's Kota.
