	Description:		First we talk to The Indian Express’ Amrita Nayak Dutta about India’s military academies, where hundreds of cadets over the years have been forced to leave training due to life-altering disabilities and what happens to cadets who are medically discharged. Next, The Indian Express’ Arun Sharma talks about Kishtwar in Jammu and Kashmir, where flash floods swept through a crowded yatra route, destroying bridges, camps, and leaving dozens missing. (14:01) And in the end, we look at Kerala’s newly released draft policy for elderly persons, which outlines a multi-pronged approach including local care cadres, a dedicated Vayojana Commission, and a budgetary mandate for elder welfare.
