H-1B court ruling, Mumbai's premium bus services, and Trump's Iran warning

from 3 Things · host Express Audio

First, we speak to The Indian Express’ Vidheesha Kuntamalla about a US District Court ruling that struck down the Trump administration’s proposed $100,000 H-1B visa fee, and what the decision means for Indian professionals and students who rely on the programme. Next, we talk to The Indian Express’ Ishika Gupta about Mumbai’s growing premium bus network, why more commuters are willing to pay for guaranteed seats and predictable travel times, and what this shift says about the city’s broader transport challenges. (10:30)And in the end, we look at the latest developments in the US-Iran conflict, as President Donald Trump warns that military strikes could resume if a tentative peace agreement collapses, even while G7 leaders back the emerging deal.
