Highlights of India Today – 30th September 2019 issue:

The cover story, Civilising Indian Roads, looks at the modifications introduced by the government and what more needs to be done.
In an exclusive interview, Nitin Gadkari explains the larger goals of the new MV Act and how he plans to improve road infrastructure and make the authorities accountable.
The Big Story, Rumble in the jungle, delves into the Madhya Pradesh government's plan to set up an empowered wildlife advisory committee in the state, which eventually has been caught up in the conservation versus tourism debate.
The issue also comes with a free supplement- Home.
