This week, Newslaundry’s Raman Kirpal and Shardool Katyayan are joined by The News Minute’s Shabbir Ahmed and senior journalists Hridayesh Joshi and Arati R Jerath.
On the Kallakurichi Hooch tragedy, which killed 65 persons due to methanol poisoning, Shabbir says “the illicit sale of liquor was happening right in the heart of the district, just 350 metres away from the police station.”
The conversation moves on to the 18th Lok Sabha session and the fighting over the election of the pro-tem speaker. Arati says the row was futile. “If the government had gone by convention and given it to the senior most MP [Congress’s 8th term MP K Suresh] what would it have cost them? In fact, it would’ve taken the wind out of the opposition’s sails.”
On the recent water crisis in Delhi, Hridayesh points to the problem of less rainy days with more rain. “In the last five decades, we have built our cities with no space to store water. In Delhi, there used to be over a hundred ponds that would help to recharge water. But today, we have erected cement buildings over half of them while others have been reduced to a garbage dump. This is why when the monsoon arrives, the city gets flooded.”
Shardool talks about how Uttarakhand’s dam construction spree has “destroyed” the river ecosystem, while Raman underlines the role of the National Green Tribunal.
This and a lot more. Tune in!

The 'former Times Now' guy did not tell is that, the illicit liquor itself was made and distributed by a person named Suresh of AIADMK party which is the opposition party to DMK in Tamil Nadu and also AIADMK had an alliance with BJP too...

Shardool you talked about bonhomie between opposition and government, they are there for legislative business not friendly party and hooch tragedy is result of corruption and gundagardi and corruption and authoritative behaviour of government is continuing.
Almost every year will now be the hottest year. Globally this has been the trend for the past few years. Systemically speaking, a hotter atmosphere absorbs more moisture, so there's a build up and sudden release of precipitation. Thus, as global warming continues, and the mean global surface temperature continues to rise, this situation will keep getting worse. It's going to be a rough time ahead, sadly, unless governments worldwide can pull their heads out of the sand.
