India's States' Debt Triples, Indus Treaty and Elections in Focus

A new report shows that the amount of money that Indian states owe has tripled in the last decade.

Punjab has the highest debt compared to its economy.

Meanwhile, India's deal to share water with Pakistan, the Indus Water Treaty, faces new challenges, including climate change, and siltation.

Elsewhere, there have been reports of fraudulent attempts to remove voters from electoral rolls by submitting false deletion requests (Form 7).
