The podcast kicks off with Abhinav talking about the rising death toll in Bihar’s Muzaffarpur due to encephalitis. He says that the death toll is now above 100, however, the Opposition has not been questioning the government on this issue due to elections. “People are coming in every hour and no parent is hopeful that their child will survive once they come in,” says Abhinav. The panel also discusses the media’s coverage of encephalitis-related deaths in Gorakhpur last year.
