3 Things

First, The Indian Express’ Deeptiman Tiwary discusses the rising demand to end government control over Hindu temples, exploring its origins, extent, and the reasons why the courts have been reluctant to address the issue.
Next, The Indian Express’ Aditi Raja reports on the murder of a seven-year-old girl in Gujarat's Dahod district, an incident that has shaken the local community and caused them to lose trust in the word “teacher” (12:20).
And finally, we take a quick look at the first case registered based on the Justice Hema Committee report, which was released last month and outlined the problems faced by women in the industry (23:05).
