Mumbai landslide warnings, an eroding coast, and BJP's reshuffle

from 3 Things · host Express Audio

First, we speak to The Indian Express’ Pratip Acharya about the deadly landslide in Mumbai’s Kurla, why repeated warnings about the vulnerable hillside went unaddressed, and what the tragedy reveals about the city’s failure to mitigate known landslide risks.Next, we speak to The Indian Express’ Sujit Bisoyi about the steady erosion of Odisha’s coastline, the districts most severely affected, and what the shrinking shoreline means for coastal communities and their livelihoods. (12:20)And in the end, we look at the BJP’s major organisational reshuffle, including Smriti Irani’s return to the central leadership, Amit Malviya’s removal as social media convener, and the party’s attempt to give greater prominence to women and younger leaders. (20:15)Hosted by Ichha SharmaProduced and written by Shashank Bhargava, Niharika Nanda and Ichha SharmaEdited and mixed by Suresh Pawar
