Reporters Without Orders Reporters Without Orders Ep 345: Why Yamuna is choking, funds squandered on Modi’s unofficial trips
This week, host Shivnarayan Rajpurohit is joined by Newslaundry’s Anmol Pritam and Basant Kumar.
Anmol reported on the increasing encroachment and concretisation of the Yamuna River floodplains, which has heavily contributed to the river’s degradation. He throws light on the consequence of arbitrary construction by the Delhi Development Authority.
Basant’s report was on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s official visits, which often comprise activities focused on promoting the BJP. He delves into the details of his official visits from January to October and the lack of transparency about the PMO billing the BJP for these unofficial expenses.
Tune in.
