NL Hafta – Episode 64

This week on NL Hafta, Vivekananda Nemana tells us about his two-year-​long investigation into how malaria cases are diagnosed as “cold and flu” in India. We talk about the second round of odd-even traffic rationing in Delhi. Is it a failure? What’s going on with surge pricing? Meanwhile, Giriraj Singh does it again, this time to keep Hindu daughters safe. And we’ve got some questions for you too, dear subscribers, about comments and what Newslaundry’s policy should be. Listen up and enjoy.
