Cadets disabled in training, Kishtwar cloudburst, and a plan for the elderly
First we talk to The Indian Express’ Amrita Nayak Dutta about India’s military academies, where hundreds of cadets over the years have been forced to leave training due to life-altering disabilities and what happens to cadets who are medically discharged.
Next, The Indian Express’ Arun Sharma talks about Kishtwar in Jammu and Kashmir, where flash floods swept through a crowded yatra route, destroying bridges, camps, and leaving dozens missing. (14:01)
And in the end, we look at Kerala’s newly released draft policy for elderly persons, which outlines a multi-pronged approach including local care cadres, a dedicated Vayojana Commission, and a budgetary mandate for elder welfare. (24:25)
Hosted by Ichha Sharma Produced and written by Shashank Bhargava, Niharika Nanda and Ichha Sharma Edited and mixed by Suresh Pawar
