  1. Haryana’s new land laws: Under the new Haryana bill for land acquisition for PPP projects, landowners and tenants will not get even a 48-hour notice for eviction; Occupants would be liable to vacate the building immediately; the government will no longer be required to obtain the consent of landowners, or carry out a Social Impact Assessment for a range of projects

  2. Sexual harassment on campus: High Court granted bail to an IIT Guwahati accused of sexual assaulting a junior since both are “future assets of the country”; reports show that IIT-G has grossly mishandled complaints of sexual offences on campus

  3. A milestone and many challenges: India crosses 50% of the adult population being vaccinated at least once; however studies show that both doses are required for the delta variant, and only 10% of the total population has been fully vaccinated; the most vulnerable population of people above age 60 are only 60% vaccinated with at least one dose; the third wave could therefore still be brutal to those not fully vaccinated

  4. Despite Supreme Court freeze, seven dam projects get approval: Eight years after the Supreme Court imposed a moratorium on clearing hydro-electric projects in Uttarakhand following a flash flood that killed over 5,000 people in June 2013, the Union ministries of Environment, Power and Jal Shakti have reached a consensus on allowing construction of seven hydel projects on the Ganga and its tributaries in the state

  5. Pharma’s reliance on China: Costly active pharma ingredients from China create healthcare hurdles in India; Nearly 70% of the country’s APIs are imported from China; the dependence is around 90% for certain life-saving antibiotics
