Reporters Without Orders Ep 164: Covid crisis in UP and MP


Reporters Without Orders Ep 164: Covid crisis in UP and MP
A reporters’ podcast about what made news and what shouldn’t have.
Newslaundry’s Prateek Goyal and independent journalist Saurabh Sharma.
Saurabh talks about his recent reports on Uttar Pradesh’s pandemic situation. In the capital Lucknow, he says, there’s utter helplessness and the main reason is the unpreparedness of the Adityanath government. "All of them were busy with elections, nobody paid much attention to Covid, it was as if it was gone,” he laments.
It’s a similar situation in Madhya Pradesh, says Prateek, where “the healthcare system has completely collapsed”. Yet, in both the Hindi heartland states, Saurabh and Prateek point out, the governments are fudging the data.
