A magnum opus called Mughal-e-Azam comes alive on stage, 6 decades after its release

This India Today special report features Shreya Dhoundial investigating the severe water contamination crisis in West Delhi’s Kumar Singh colony. Following an exposé on the 'Delhi water menace', the Delhi government seems to have swung into action, with BJP leader Harish Khurana stating that 'pipelines in the locality will be changed soon' to address the infrastructure failure. However, Shreya Dhoundial highlights a significant disconnect between official claims and the ground reality. She notes that urban planning failures, particularly the lack of coordination between the Delhi Jal Board and gas pipeline departments, lead to frequent breakages where sewage water gets mixed. Dhoundial emphasizes that 'it's not an old story' but an 'everyday issue' across the national capital, where residents are being forced to drink contaminated water for months. The programme describes the situation as a fundamental 'fight for basics' in India. India Today continues its reality check to hold local representatives accountable for the quality of essential services in Delhi.

On this edition of Five Live, anchor Sonal Mehrotra Kapoor presents a grim reality check on the water crisis in West Delhi's Kumar Singh Colony. India Today's Shreya Chatterjee reports that residents are receiving sewage-mixed water, a situation BJP leader Harish Khurana claims is being addressed. The show draws a sharp contrast with Indore’s ‘clean city’ facade, referencing Mayor Pushyamitra Bhargava and the recent contamination tragedy. Shifting focus to health, Dr. Atul Gogia, Senior Consultant at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, discusses the rising cases of Typhoid in urban India, warning that ‘the answer isn't in your glass, it's on your plate.’ The episode concludes with a look at Mirumi, a new emotional companion robot from Tokyo.

This episode of 5 Live focusses on the contaminated water crisis in West Delhi's Kunwar Singh Colony.

This India Today special report by Shreya Chatterjee investigates the alarming water crisis in West Delhi's Kuwar Singh Colony. Residents allege that for nearly two months, the Delhi Jal Board has been supplying water contaminated with sewage, leading to widespread health issues including stomach infections and diarrhea. Reporter Shreya Chatterjee notes, 'What you're seeing is not sewage from an open drain. This is water coming directly from Delhi Jalbot pipelines.' The investigation highlights a systemic failure, revealing that 23 out of 25 Delhi Jal Board water testing labs have reportedly lost their NABL accreditation, raising serious questions about the safety certifications provided by authorities. Despite numerous complaints, local representatives, including the Health and Transport Minister Pankaj, have allegedly failed to address the emergency. The report underscores the desperation of citizens forced to buy bottled water or use illegal borewells while still receiving high utility bills for unusable, foul-smelling water.
