Census paused in Manipur, a govt hospital's failure, and High Court raps UP
About this episode
The episode discusses the halted Census in Manipur, healthcare failures at a cancer institute, and a High Court ruling on bureaucratic overreach.
First, we speak to The Indian Express’ Deeptiman Tiwary about why the Census has been halted in Manipur, the demand from Meitei and Naga groups for an NRC, and how questions of migration, citizenship and delimitation have deepened existing ethnic divisions. Next, we speak to The Indian Express’ Tabshir Shams about serious gaps at the Delhi State Cancer Institute, where staff shortages and unused medical equipment are forcing patients to pay privately for essential tests and medicines while facing dangerous delays in treatment. (11:30) And in the end, we examine the Allahabad High Court’s decision to quash the NSA detention of 25-year-old Aakriti Chaudhary, award her compensation and issue a sharp warning against bureaucratic overreach and the suppression of peaceful protest. (23:30) Hosted by Ichha Sharma Produced and written Shashank Bhargava and Ichha Sharma Edited and mixed by Suresh Pawar
