India's forex reserves problem, Rajasthan maternal deaths, and SIR concerns

First, we talk to The Indian Express' Udit Misra about PM Modi urging people to reduce the use of Petroleum products. 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. In these cases, women develop postpartum complications after a C-section which leads to their deaths. She shares the details of the cases and the probe in place. (16:09) Lastly, we talk about BJP governments in West Bengal and Bihar saying that the people who have been deleted from the electoral rolls after the Special Intensive Revision cannot avail government schemes in their states. (25:57) Hosted by Niharika Nanda Produced by Shashank Bhargava and Niharika Nanda Edited and mixed by Suresh Pawar
