Regulating Tourism in Mussoorie

First, we talk to The Indian Express' Vikas Pathak about Shibu Soren, a political figure who played a key role in Jharkhand achieving its statehood. Soren passed away this Monday and Vikas shares about his journey, the ups and downs and the legacy that he leaves behind. 

Next, we talk to The Indian Express' Aishwarya Raj about a new measure that is being adopted by hotels, guest houses and homestays in Mussoorie in order to keep a check on the issue of overcrowding that the Himalayan tourist destination has been facing for many years now. (16:40)
