'We Got 10 Mins to Board Bus & Leave': Prayagraj Local, Mother Stranded in Iran
Amit Shah’s ambitious 2026 Naxal-free goal faces challenges, Air India crash aftermath, and India's troubled workers in Iran.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah's bold goal of a ‘Naxal-Mukt Bharat’ by 2026 could reshape India, but some doubt it’s enough. Can the Naxal movement, which has survived for over 58 years, truly be wiped out without addressing its root causes? Watch Aakriti Handa’s detailed report. On the international front, Abbas Muzaffar, a resident of Uttar Pradesh's Prayagraj and professor at Tashkent's Webster University, speaks to The Quint from a special bus arranged by the Indian Embassy to evacuate Indians from war-torn Iran. Also, Rejimon Kutappan talks to India's workers across the Gulf who are on the edge given "low-paid workers, especially in the construction and hospitality sectors, are seen as disposable."
