Bus reforms face hurdles, returning to the moon, and Malda protests

First, we speak to The Indian Express’ Parul Kulshrestha about how tighter safety norms for sleeper buses have brought Rajasthan’s traditional bus body manufacturing industry to a standstill, with small workshops struggling to adapt to new compliance requirements.

Next, we talk to The Indian Express’ Amitabh Sinha about Artemis II, the first crewed mission to the Moon’s neighbourhood in more than five decades, and what this test flight means for future lunar landings planned later this decade. (14:10)

And in the end, we look at how the Supreme Court of India has sharply criticised the West Bengal government over violence against judicial officers in Malda, raising concerns about the protection of the judicial process. (26:55)
